it will probly just be condensation from the cold weather and short runs

Hi mate

These are not prone for headgasket problems and if they do go its normaly associated with overheating.

I have a 3.0i also and mine has this symptom this time of year also , I have seen loads like it so dont worry.

Might be a good idea to keep an eye on the oil and coolant levels but as said I would not worry , had mine for 5 years and always been the same.

Cheers

Cheers guys I think I nearly laid an egg when I seen that stuff around the oil cap
