Antifreeze is a chemical additive mixed with water. Must be 50/50 mixed with the right type of antifreeze for the right vehicle. If it gets to thick, the PH level is high and not the right content of water is mixed with the chemical additive.

new answer is basically your head gasket is gone and the oil is mixing with the anti-freeze because anti freeze is not thick and shoud never be thick. The base glycols used to make antifreeze are clear and colorless, the manufacturers dye them to the color that specified by the customer. The color itself means nothing.
