I have also question about oil. V6 oil cap is covered with this looking like a mayonnaise. yes i know,its oil with water. Cap is covered with this,and also oil tube walls inside are covered with this. I know that little this on cap is normal,if short distances. But is this amount normal? I checked, and coolant is clean and all is there,nothing missing.

V6 oil filler is very prone to condensation, thus forms mayo very easily, as it is somewhat "remote" and is in a much cooler, relatively, position.
As long as the dipstick is clear of water, and the header tank clear of oil, I'd not worry.
Wipe out the excess then give it a 50 mile blast down a motorway at just legal speeds ..... bet its nice and clear then .. :)
BTW .. some oils, castrol being one, are much more prone to cause this than others. Vx's own semi-synth is about the best and on TC is easliy the cheapest as well .. :)

I second Entwoods post - this is common, and normal.
Do an oil change for good measure using only VX10/40
