make sure your breathers are clear 1st

You'll get a wee bit of mayo cause of the temp inside the rocker cover and the cold air passing over and causing it condinsate. Is it loosing/using water? To be on the safe side get the cooling system chemical tested. This test picks up Hydro Carbons (I think) which come from the cylinders. This would prove a cylinder to water jacket leak. If the oil came out white/cream then theres possiblya leak between oil journals and the water jacket.
