The head gasket may be blown. Is there coolant in the oil?

when i bought the car, the radiator was empty of coolant.

You don't always see coolant in the oil when the head gasket is blown.

Or alternatively, the engine may have blown the head gasket and it was replaced. In this case, the corrosion you are seeing represents "scars" from the blown head gasket.
