Yup, I'm just back from my mechanic and I had that tested. It is indeed the head gasket.

also the cooling system was pressure tested and performed OK.
while doing the head gasket I'll have the valve seals replaced and other parts if needed.

Oh, and I'll propably switch to mineral oil - 15W40. I've been using synthetic Castrol 5W40 for the last 3 years and changed to Mobil1 5W50 at the last oil change. I change oil every 10.000km.
