Dip Stick was Smoking when I pulled it.

I did an oil change and took a ride. When I got home I pulled the dip stick and it was smoking in the middle. The is also a 6 inch section that is turning brown. It is in the area where the dip stick goes through the exhaust manifold area. I Didn't notice the discoloration on the dip stick till after my 3rd track day. So the discoloration has been there for a few months. Never checked it hot before after a drive.

I run mobil 15W50.

3000 miles. Car is totally stock.

Anyone else have a discolored oil dipstick?
