Pictures can be misleading but it appears there is coolant in the oil. Mayo tends to be more solidified in nature. While PCV as the cause is a good guess, there are several other possibilities. The good thing is that you shut it off right away.
Thanks BCR.

While I would LOVE to do it myself, I would be relegated to handing someone else tools and and watching/learning intently.

I loved working on my '74 2002 with the ol' Bentley manual, but even then, If I could see gears or thingys inside the engine, that was beyond my ability. I can use tools, I just don't have the experience unless there was a step by step video. If something didn't match the video, I don't have the expertise and judgment to be confident.

Oh BOY would the first key turn after that experience be terrifying.
