Possibly.... if you oily is milky, then that could be possible.
Dont forget that Anti-freeze is a corrosive, and if its not mixed properly or changed reguarly it will build up and corode your radiator. So that could be what happend.

If anyone ever accidentally poured window cleaner in your overflow tank (someone could mistake it for the window cleaner tank) It will cuase a reaction with the rubber hose inside the overflow tank.
Dont know how often it happens but was a story that my buddy, a local Honda mech. told me a customer did once.
