Hmm im not sure then. Usualy when your headgasket goes either its oil into water or the other way round

ive read on couple of other threads it could be condensation as car only gets used maybe once or twice every week or so

if it pressurises the header tank/header tank smells strongly of exhaust gas, then it's bound to be headgasket. If not, could be condensation.

I know that BMW's and VW's especially suffer from condensation that puts the mayo on the cap/dipstick. Especially during the winter when its cold. So it may just be that!
You'd be loosing oil/water if something had gone.
