Oily coolant?? Tan coolant?

Whatever this hose is, it's attached to the top left corner of the radiator, onto a platic nipple. Looks like the line goes up under the PS reservoir. What is it?
Check the fluid in your power steering reservoir. My 92 had the yellow dealer stuff in there. If someone mixed red Dexron with, you could get tan...
