Seems like that is common on the 6.7's. I was told that it is coolant.

I haven't heard or seen that on any 6.7's but that can't be good having coolant there.

Looks like a puddle of the dried engine dressing dealers use to make the engine look new or "wet". If they use too much it will puddle and leave a residue that looks like that.

My suggestion would be to check your oil,If it looks good then clean the cap and valve cover and drive it.check it one more to see if it reoccurred.I really think its nothing to get worked up over though.

It's just hard water spots that didn't get wiped dry when the motor was washed.
