The way to tell if something is wrong check oil cap. Look for a white foam sometimes it's brown showing coolant in oil also look for white or blue smoke coming out of tailpipe. If you don't see any of these simple drain reservoir and flush it. I would also drain radiator to be on safe side. It is possible that last owner put oil in reservoir I have seen strange things like that and worse
Thank you think I dodged a bullet!
Just took reservoir off now cleaned and reconnected. Thank goodness oil is lighter than water! Looked like only a pint of oil was added since the reservior fills from bottom oil never got to radiator. Thanks again for the help and reasurance I was freaking out at first:-)
Cant tell you how much you helped realy! was able to ride until I fixed correctly

No disconnect the reservoir temporary will not cause problems as long you keep radiator full.
