If it has'nt been driven properly for a bit and only moved about and run for a couple of minutes it will just be condensation in the oil. Obviously keep an eye on coolant and temp but it wont be headgasket.

as joe said, it'd be condensation, the dipstick and oil cap are the 2 highest points where the condensation to go so will go mankey once mixed with the oil, clean it off and give the car a good blast, open it up well through each gear. Check the car again the next morning and if the mayo has returned then removes the pipes connecting to the rocker cover and give them a squease, if mayo starts to ooze out of them then get it down to a garage for a skim and head gasket change!
