Just went to check the oil and noticed the oil has gone creamy, no over heating no other signs oil under the rocker cover seems to be fine. just the oil on the stick .
Any suggestions, any experience with non head off fixes?

I would change the oil, drive it some more and see if it comes back. When I bought my 740 the oil looked like this, I figured at such high mileage it was due for an engine swap anyway so I drove it a bit and the problem went away and has never come back, I did find that the o-ring on the dipstick was missing so maybe condensation got in that way, I'll never know. Are you getting any oil in the coolant reservoir?
Condensation will do that if you live where such things happen. Skins over the top of the oil but when you pull the stick, it's completely covered below the full line because everything under the oil has to pass through the skin on it's way out. Get your stick all rusty too. You use your car for lots of really short trips? Like James says, drain it and see for sure.
Yes, change the oil and see what happens. It may be a temporary build- up of condensation.
