Anybody think there might be other causes of "Mayo" in the rocker cover than a blown head gasket?

Has it been standing????
If so, could just be condensation.

If not, have a sniff test done at a garage.

Can sometimes be down to poor quality engine oil.

But, more usually, a climatic thing that coincides with cold/damp weather, and short journeys.
