Hi Les Its not uncommon to see emulsified oil in breathers & oil cap especially on a low mileage Corsa, I've still yet to see a head gasket fail on these where coolant mixes with the oil. A couple of checks I would carry out are: Have a close look at the spark plugs(and tops of pistons while out) to check for burnt off coolant. Or if it may be a slow external leak, the best way I find to trace these is to drain as much coolant as possible and fill system with neat antifreeze and pressure test system cold, hot, eng off and engine running.
