The PCV system is there to burn of 'evaporated oil' as it becomes blowby gasses. It can evaporate, but not like water evaporates on a hot sidewalk, it blows by piston rings, valve seals, etc. That's why people use catch cans.
He has a bad head gasket or a crack and it mixed with the coolant, that's why it's in the reserve tank.

Re: this cant be normal (Hawkze_2.3)
that sucks. i never over heated the car. on a super hot day the oil temp got pretty high so i let it chill for 10 min and drove home with the heat blasting 
. never had another problem after that.
