Hi Batt45, I've got a 2.5 v6 on an X plate, drive it like a nunn and you will get mayo in the filler cap, or very short trips will also do it, but mine was also losing a bit of water and I went straight for the head gasket as well, turned out it had a slight weep from the oil cooler, which as you know sits in the 'V' so no sign of loss on the floor, it was evaporating off as it sat in the 'V' after my trip.  I had all the cam belts, Rocker cover gaskets, HT leads, HBV, water pump, plugs, C.P.S., Dis pack and oil cooler rebuilt at the same time so no idea of cost if it is a head gasket, but it aint gona be cheap.
best of luck and hope it's the HBV.
