just keep an eye on it sounds exactly like mine was on my 1.2 8v i dint think i was losing water but there was a slight split in head gasket, i had tht gunk in my cap and no other symtoms apart from a very slight miss when i accelerated, no white smoke or loss of water, you maybe in the first stages of head gasket failure just keep an eye on your levels! if theres even a slight change in your water levels id look at changing your head gasket! but liek u said there are prone problems with the 1.2 regarding condensation in the cap as the oil pipes run right next to the radiator or summin. hope this helps

More than likely condensation mate, should disappear after a good run, but keep your eye on it just incase.
