Coffee!

What's up everyone! So this morning I was doing a power steering flush, & decided to pull my OCC while the power steering fluid was draining. And to my immense surprise, there was tons of goop at the bottom (sitting below a thin layer of actual oil). The confusing part of this scenario is that last week I changed the motor oil, & it looked fine. No hint at all of any foreign substance. With that being said, I have an idea of what it could be. But before jumping the gun, I wanted to get the community's opinion on the matter.

That's normal I believe, but if it was in your oil when you drained all of it I would be concerned

Ok. I immediately assumed it meant I had a coolant leak. I was thinking the valve cover gasket. Yet, I couldn't make sense of it, since the oil drained from the pan was normal. Weird....
