Drained the rad as I will be pulling the engine ****** for cleaning and paint. Didn't notice anything out of the norm when it drained. I did note smell of gas in rad but the transporters couldn't figure out advance spark etc and they flooded the hell out of it.

When I checked out the bucket noticed a thick layer of sludge oil, and some seeping out of lower water pipe. Checked the oil in the engine it looks new and nice...thoughts?

P.s water pump looks good no over oiling
 
I would check the head nuts torque, flush out the cooling system, and drive it, but keep an eye on the coolant. Hard to say what someone before you added to the coolant.

I knew a guy that thought it would be a good idea to add a quart of motor oil to the water in his newer Chevy van. It formed an acid that ate out his rear core plugs, and I had to drop the ****** to replace them.
