Default Re: Bad Head Gasket or PCV issue?

This morning I happened to check my radiator cap and its covered in a milky substance, I have no signs of a bad head gasket from what I can understand. I just changed my oil no milky substance, no milky substance around oil cap etc eveything looked normal. The car does not overheat or loose radiator coolant, and when it is up to operating temperature there is no smoke out of the exhaust. If I remember correctly I did a radiator flush & fluid exchange last year and don't remember seeing this. I know its coming back fast because I just wiped off the cap and reinstalled. Any suggestions? https://youtube.com/shorts/VCeEoXxY2tI?feature=share (Video of my coolent res)
Is it an automatic or manual. If its an auto I would look at the possibility that the trans cooler is leaking into the radiator. If you had a head gasket leak there would be milky oil on the oil fill cap.
