Default Headgasket Symptoms?

Recently bought a good spec classic had the cambelt and water pump done and obviously new fresh coolant and noticed the following day the coolant had some white like glue looking bits in it, driven it 200 miles since and hasn't got any worse......no other symptoms at all and recently been mapped. I'm hoping it's just crap in pipes had a sniff test done and was fine. What else would I notice if it was headgasket?

They used to say white crap around the bottom of the oil cap, is this still the case?
