From those pictures it looks like there's a very small amount of oil in the coolant. Is it possible that it could've picked this up somewhere between when it came out of your block and when it hit that trash can lid? Or could it be possible that there was some cooking oil or something on the lid already?
How did the coolant look as it was running out? How does your expansion tank look?

I would look carefully at the coolant this weekend when you do the water pump but I think you'll find that everything is probably fine and you just picked up some oil off of your block as that coolant ran down.

Let us know what you find
