Whilst topping up the oil in my wife's TT at the weekend I was greeted with this.



I initially suspected a head gasket issue but the oil actually smelt strongly of petrol. I had a new PCV valve to fit anyway so I went ahead and fitted it only to discover the same mayo like mess within that too.



Is this a typical sign of a PCV failure or should I prepare myself for a head gasket change?

It used to do a few shorter journeys but now does 9 miles of dual carriageway and motorway morning and evening.

It uses a bit of oil, no more than my 2 previous mk5 Golf GTi's though.
