Is this gunk normal? Post coolant leak

borescope coming in tonight but these are taken with my iPhone. Couldn’t get good pictures but basically the exterior of the oil pan is covered in this gunk. You can clearly see it on the oil filter housing here.

i have a coolant leak so the underbody cover was a bit wet. I’m hoping this gunk is just caused by the coolant mixing with all the dust and loose gunk that normal accumulates and not something abnormal like oil leak or something else.

Looks like a by-product of an oil leak that may have stopped, not sure. Time to add some dye to the oil to find the source
