If you get a block test (sniff test ) it will confirm if head gasket gone or not .

it does sound like headgasket or the head might be cracked,either way its a case of confirming gasket blown with a block test and stripping down engine to investigate

the oil is clear (no mayo) but there's also alot of damp in the car, the interior fan is tempermental as well....

Depends where head gasket goes whether it mixes with oil or not . If water inside , check heater matrix is not leaking , also pollen filter .
