Found traces of oil in my radiator

My 1986 TPI camaro is over heating. After checking my radiator I found an oily goo in the radiator cap and on the inside of the radiator.

Could this be the problem of my car running hot even when I'm running at highway speed?

The engine oil seems to be OK, no traces of of coolant. Also checked the transmission fluid it also seems to be OK, not traces of coolant.

How can I tell if the contamination is engine oil or transmission fluid?

You comments would be appreciated.
