Used for lots of short journeys? Condensation builds up in the filler neck.

I don't quite understand your question.
Mayo in your oil filler is quite normal when you do short journeys in your car. Cam covers get warm the filler stays cool so the two meet create condensation. ..water and oil make mayo....

Mayo in your water reservoir means the is oil getting in there from somewhere. On a v6 more often than not the oil cooler.

Mayo on your dipstick means there is water  in your oil from somewhere...this could be a symptom of head gasket.

Hope ghat helps  :y
