Something in coolant, pretty sure it's not headgasket

Well, I was checking my fluids the other day (which I do on an almost daily basis). The coolant in my reservoir was dark. Looks like chocolate milk, so I assume it's oil. But I have no symptoms of a headgasket leak. No white smoke from tailpipe, engine runs pretty smooth, doesn't overheat. Oil looks great, I take off the coolant cap and rev the engine. Nothing. I do have an oil leak from my valve cover gasket on both sides of the engine, getting that fixed next week actually.
I read somewhere on here about an oil cooler leak could cause oil in coolant, but also coolant in oil. And I don't have coolant in my oil.
Anybody have any idea what this is and how much it's gonna cost me?
