If there is water in the oil or oil in the water it is unmistakable. Thank goodness for the chemistry of oil vs. water. If you have a weekened, and hopefully before the winter arrives, replacing the hoses is an option. There is about 7-9 hoses total. I cannot remember them all out of the top of my head, but I can find out, I have this information in a my "car work" binder at home.
Costwise, it is very inexpensive. Even if you opt for the higher quality newer version of the hose clamps (some self adjusting), it is all well under $100.00 assuming you buy the parts from a site sponsor (not a dealer). I will be upfront with you. Knuckles will bleed in the process and patience will be tested :). Some of the hoses are really hard to get to, so looooooooong screw drivers or socket wrench extensions will make your live MUCH easier. Having a couple of jackstands so you can raise the car will help tremendously. Again, not hard at all intellectually, but it will test your patience :). Of course, there is a coolant flush involved in the process and possible the replacement of the thermostat. All of it very inexpensive. Probably a six beer job in degree of difficulty. For the newbie DIYer 8 hours. (Probably about 2 or less for a pro) :)
