So should I clean cap before or just drive some 50 miles, and then see
if it is gone?

a long drive will not shift the "mayonnaise"
you will have to physically remove it then do more miles per day to keep the
mayonnaise away.

Re: Oil cap
Strange. If coolant was getting into the oil, then I would expect to see
this elsewhere. Perhaps there is some reason it would accumulate as it has
in your image, but I don't understand how. Perhaps one explanation is that
the lifters are hot enough to boil off any moisture and it condenses on the
cap.
Per my initial posting, I suggest you wipe the stuff off and see if it is
back in a day or so. Also, if coolant is getting into your oil, you should
see evidence of it on the dipstick. What's happening there?

Nothing. Coolant level is OK, oil level did not rise up. Could be LPG
related. Another thing. Around oil cap was an oily patch, so I bended
flaps on oil cap to make it tighter fit to valve cover. Since oily patch
is gone, maybe moist can not go out either, and that could cause
creation of "mayonnaise"?
