Yellow Gunk in flame trap and hoses... 200 1990

Hey Everyone,

My 90 - 244 has started leaking oil at the front above the water pump and back by the rear main seal. It overheated about a month ago from a leaking water hose. I thought I caught it before it blew the head gasket. No water in the oil or on the bottom of the oil cap. Antifreeze looks good. But I took off the flame trap and hose and found thick yellow gunk and seems like a little water (only a few drops). I cleaned everything and replaced what I could...

Now, is this more serious than I thought? Have I blown the head gasket?

Any help, as always, is appreciated,

Don
