If it goes away, all 'summer' in CheeseHeadLand, you have dodge a bullet, for awhile...and do some hour drives hauling azz, in addition to your commute, after the oil change(s).
Those back to back oil changes, (with really hot oil pouring out), are less expensive now, than doing CCV hoses, et al.
As noted, Search CCV, cheese, goop on oil cap, etc: there are literally pages of threads on the topic.

x2 on what ol' uncle motor said, go buy yourself 4 gallon jugs of mobil 1 at wally world, and 2 or 3 oil filters, drive the shit out of the car when its warm and do one or two hot oil changes to see if you can burn that cheese whiz off, if it doesnt go away, then i would replace CCV and associated hoses.
As far as the coolant being low, check Tstat, overflow tank, and assocatied cooling hoses for leaks, at your mileage you definitely need a cooling overhaul.
