Discolored Oil Dipstick Pic - What Do You Think Is Going On?

[JeepGirl247]

Here is a picture of the discoloration on my XJ's oil dipstick...

Does this look like a condensation-related issue or does it look like a head gasket issue?

That is the link to my initial explanatory post about what exact symptoms my XJ was having regarding this issue.

Thanks in advance...

To me, it doesn't look abnormal in color. The pic is a little blurry and the brown stain on the stick is a little deceiving. If it was a chocolate milkshake color, then i would say it's got water contamination mixed in with the engine oil.
