Hmmmm, Milkshake anyone?

that looks like the crap you get when oil and coolant combine, I'd be monitoring it very closely and possibly raise the issue with your Holden stealership if the car is under warranty.

What does the coolant look like in the radiator ? Similar gunk on the cap ?

yes its a auto and no crap in radiator or cap looks like its the dex cool stuff only in coolant recovery bottle

Dexcool does tend to do that in contact with air. If it is just in the overflow bottle no need to worry about it.
When did you have the full coolant flush last ?

Haven't flushed yet car is still under warranty it started off as yellow crusty stuff in there also thanks guys for replying also noticed on club VF face book some guys having the same issue in there ss that's why I'm thinking its just the coolant even the engine oil is good thought maybe its just the way it is
