What is your question?
2000 dakota 4.7L. When first started after sitting sounds like no oil in top motor. Sounds like valves chattering. Only last for about a second. Then starts up fine as long as it doesn't sit for awhile. Also inside filler tube is milky oil (water). Check dipstick and oil is fine. Is only in filler tube. Clean filler tube and drive, milky oils starts building up again.

My first guess is about the noise: You are using an aftermarket oil filter without a proper anti-drainback feature, allowing the oil to drain back down to the oil pan. Get a good quality oil filter with anti-drainback. Second thought, about the milky deposit in the oil filler: Check the PCV saystem, the valve may be faulty. Also, be sure that the thermostat is keeping the engine at the proper running temperature, which is about 195F.
