Default Oil issue

I ran my car two weeks ago. I just got back home and my car has some oil on the floor from a rear seal leak. (Its always done that) My question is the oil on the floor is a milky/white color. It has been raining and is very humid here the past few days. My shop is not sealed off by no means. My car has alot of condensation on the oil pan and other parts. I pulled the valve covers and the rockers and everything seem to be normal. There is no white/milky film on anything. When I pulled the drain plug the oil doesn't have a white/milky film to it but it has a green tint to it. It's hard to explain over the computer. It doesn't smell like racing fuel. It just doesn't look right to me. I don't want to do anything stupid with this engine. If I hurt it im done for along time. Thanks.
