This might be looking on the bright side a bit too much but I think it's a bit early to say the head gasket or head is blown. All you can say for sure is that it's dumped a load of oil out the exhaust and started making a racket. The oil filler cap can look like that on a bike that's been parked up for a long time. Also when you burn petrol it creates water vapour so if the bike was over filled with oil and it was pushing oil past the rings and into the exhaust and it was mixing with the water vapour in the exhaust you could get that mayo looking oil coming out the exhaust. Also he didn't say anything about it over heating or running rough which I think you'd expect from a blown head gasket. He'll have to drain the oil and check what condition it's in is it milky and then check the condition of the coolant before any accurate guesses could be made. It could well be that the head or the head gasket is gone but I don't think you could say that yet. To me it looks like the symptoms of over filling the oil but that can knacker all sorts of things and write off an engine. Pull the plugs out too
