How ****ed am I? Did an oil change today, pulled off the filler cap (with some effort - it was stuck on) and found some yellow goop around the bottom of the cap. There was also some condensation inside the top of the cap. I also noticed there was smoke/steam coming out of the filler hole. I know the engine is burning some oil as I do have to top up between changes. The coolant level is good, so at least that isn't leaking in.
Possibilities? Head or intake gasket?

Thanks!

Could just be condensation forming from not letting the oil get up to temp and burn the moisture off. Happens a lot with vehicles that do short trips. If you aren't loosing coolant I wouldn't think it would be a head gasket.
