My dad had this on his astra, was using it for short journeys only and condensation built up under the cap and mixed with the oil causing a creamy gunk. My brother bought the car and used it for longer journeys and drove it a bit harder and the gunk went

which engine is it?, tbh its not uncommon the xep petrol enignes in corsas etc seem to suffer from it really bad, as said just condensation nout to wrry about just clean it off so it dont mix with the oil

I'd clean off the oil breather pipes then use an engine flush treatment followed by an oil and filter change. I wouldn't worry if there is no signs of losing oil or water.
