take it back to the garage that did the head gasket?

it could just be condensation if the car does short journeys

it could be gunk from your breather pipes that wasnt cleared after the HG went.

Take the car a good long run (over an hour). Make sure the engine gets good and hot and sees plenty of revs. This should clear the shite out. Have you checked the coolant to make sure it's not gone again?
