yup thats exactly what I have in my coolant bottle, looks identical. I took my bottle off last week and washed it out totally (took FOREVER because its double lined and the stuffs reallly sticky lol)

But its gone now, so I can guage how fast it builds up again (if it does) lol

Part of me recons the old lady owner who had it before me topped her coolant up with oil. its exactly the type of thing which would happen lol

i recommend you do the same thing, its easy to take off and put back on Smile

Have you checked under the rocker cover yet? Mine looked exactly like yours, i aswell tested it to see if i had exhaust gases going into the coolant but if came up not showing anything. I had been told that it was the headgasket and as soon as i took the head off and checked the gasket it was clear to see where it had failed. I would take it to get a experienced opinion and see what they tell you.

All I can add to this post is that I'm pretty sure when there is that sort of build up on the inside of the oil cap, it means that water is somehow coming into contact with the oil. With heat from the engine, water vapor rises to the highest point(the cap) and condensates. With the heating up and cooling down of the engine with day to day use the water and oil make a yellowy white gunge :/
So I personally think that the HG is the problem, and a similar thing is happening in the expansion tank just with a higher ratio of water to oil so it looks different,
