You will ALWAYS have abit of oil/mayo in the breather pipe up to the airfilter, dont worry about it. Just take it for a long run as said before.

right guys thanks alot I'm gettin scared again haha I'm gonna take it for somewhat of a big run as soon as i get some money because i still haven't paid this months car insurance :\

The breather pipe can sometimes get a bit blocked, so you could try taking off filler cap and blowing down the breather pipe to clear it.

It's just condensation. Go for a decent drive and it should shift.

sounds like somthing to do wid headgasket i think this junk shit is to do wid water getting in a mixing with the oil :?

Reading this I think some people aren't sure what the 'mayo' is. I shall offer an explaination just in case i'm right.

A small amount of water mixes with oil causing an 'emulsion' (mix) the colour of this is off white. If the environment is humid its a guarantee there'll be a bit of this going on. The oil needs to get hot enough for long enough to evaporate the water thus removing it from the emulsion.

Simples! :)
