Oil and water. Totally fine... Assuming that's all there was. If there's a ton of it you might have an issue.

If it's green and smells like coolant it might be something to worry about. Looks green to me but I'm a little color blind.

Mine looked a lot worse than that when I was on E85. E85 makes for some funky catch can mixtures.
