My van is leaking this oily water from the right front of the engine. There's hot smell when I turn the engine off but the temp gauge isn't registering hot. I put coolant in the reservoir and the next day it was gone and there was blackish green slug in the bottom.

It sounds like coolant. Have you checked the water pump for leaks and around the cylender head on the right front?
