It's my opinion that you have oil in the coolant.
Could be a blown head gasket.
Have you checked the engine oil to see if its milky? look in oil filler hole on valve cover.

Yeah could be oil, oh and condensation can build up on oil cap or valve cover I've had them in the shop were it's on everything looks like snot that doesn't necessarily mean blown head gasket by the way. Change oil see if there is coolant in the oil you can also have coolant tested to see if there are any exhaust fumes in your coolant.
