Yes, that's typical signs of a HG that's fooked.
When oil and water mix, it looks like mayo.

i have done loads of short journeys but never many long ones
just changed my oil and filter,put engine flush in with old oil amd done what it says
although i did loose some water last week.....im 90% sure its on its way out but the previous owner believes he changed the cambelt a short while ago
