Head gasket?

I was checking my antifreeze today and noticed a small amount of a tanish kinda oily substance at the filler neck. It was not much, the antifreeze is full, and perfectly green. I swiped it off the sides of the neck with my finger, it didn't smell oily, but a little slick when I rubbed it between my fingers. No water in my oil whatsoever. 1993 Olds Cutlass Ciera 3.3L.

Wipe it out and keep an eye on it. Check your transmission fluid condition and level as the cooler for that is inside the radiator.
If no other symptoms are present then I wouldn't worry about it.

I just changed the tranny fluid about 2 weeks back, and it had no signs of any water in it either. It's wierd. I have no other symptoms of a head gasket leak, no smoke, etc. I'll just watch it. Thanks
