it may just be scum from old antifreeze get a block test done,takes about 15 mins blue liquid is put in tester above rad or header tank, air is drawn in from tank if oil is detected fluid goes green.that means head gasget gone

possible head gasket failure or oil cooler failure. wouldn't bother with block test as your not looking for combustion gasses in coolant... hope this helps!!!
