Coolant Problem

Hi to all!
I've a '99 3800 V6 series II Camaro!
I've find these in my radiator, can you help me to understand if it is oil or if It is old coolant?
The coolant is really very old....

Flush it.

I'm not up on the V6s, do you have a transmission cooler built into the radiator. Could be leaking into the coolant.

But it looks like just old Dexcool......if the V6s also use Dexcool.

Either way...you need to flush it.

V6 has used dexcool just as long as the ls platform sadly. What's worse is the v6 has a wet intake manifold and plastic gaskets so they fail and cause mucho damage.

Could be dexcool crud or tranny fluid. But to me it looks more like trans fluid. If you have a trans cooler built into the radiator I would recommend checking that out
