Hard to tell from the latest pictures.

If there is mayo or milkshake in the motor, then this may not be a frozen CCV, but a blow headgasket or some other major engine failure.

Usually mayo just builds up on the underside of the oil fill cap and valve cover and can and will get caught and frozen in the CCV and hoses, but rarely mixes in the oil.

BTW, what is the oil level as indicated on the dipstick? With a much oil that came out, you should probably not have oil or what ever on the dipstick.

Did you check the coolant level as well?
