Omega General Help / 1998 2.5 V6 petrol Omega Tourer Head Gasket!!!

Recently purchased a 1998 2.5 V6 petrol Omega Tourer and I think the head gasket might of gone after driving 1500 miles, The coolant light came on and I checked the water about 800 miles ago, level was fine, but there was a white creamy oil on the cap and also in the expansion chamber, I emptied out the the expansion chamber by taking the bottom pipe off. Last week the coolant light came on again. This time loads of creamy oily water. Got rid of all of it and then the next day the car overheated. The oil filler cap and the oli have no water in them, even though the oli level is dropping. No obvious engine leaks.
Can someone point me in the right direction, does this sound like a head gasket gone? or something else. Car runs ok and is not lumpy.
Some history of the car.
Had 69,000 on when I purchased, the previous owner had replaced the engine at 50,000 miles as blown up engine when the oil pump went, apparently a garage that his mate runs replaced the engine (not sure if it a full engine or not, or a recon engine.
When I first saw the oil deposits in the water I thought it probably came from the pipe work that had been used with the previous engine (and the deposits had been left in it)
Any information would be gratefully received
Many thanks Oliver
