Default Anifreeze condensation on oil filler cap

I am getting slight amount of condensating coolant on my oil filler cap. Could it possibly be a head gasket? I had the injectors changed recently, could some leaked in when they were changed? i havent seen very much after my last oil change. Just a little at first after the first 1000 miles, so maybe it is all cleaned out.

it is possible but not very probable that a little antifreeze got into the oil. What is more likely is that one of the injector cups is leaking or the head gasket is leaking. i would keep an eye on my coolant tank and oil cap. if the problem persists or gets worse then it's probably one of these two things.The blown head gasket will cause the tank to get dark or black a lot of times. good luck. hope this helps
