Might just be some condensation.
No point changing things until you know the source of the problem.

Could be the result of a few short runs, maybe it just needs a nice long run to get the oil up to temperature. Or it could be the head gasket.

when I bought my gti a while back , it had a lot of milky stuff in the oil cap , which helped me knock down the price. I took a chance as I knew it had been standing for a few months through the winter.
got home changed the oil/filter and that was the exact problem it had, as from then on all was ok.
If your car is using a lot of water or oil and it gets hot a lot, then maybe it might be the head gasket.
try what macca and E5GDM says first before you make any drastic decisions
