That milky fluid is water mixed with oil.
At a guess you've had high humidity in your area recently.
Pull the breather hose off and shoot some brake cleaner through it then hit it with some air and your problem should go away.

It is oil/water emulsion, possibly caused by riding short distances and the engine/oil not getting fully up to operating temperature. Another possibility is that if you have changed oil brand recently, it is more susceptible to emulsifying. Used to be a more serious problem way back, when multi-grade oils were first introduced.
