Ok so I drained my system and ran it with water only since oil and water doesn't mix, I figured I'd drive it for a few days to let the water circulate through the system and then drain it and see what I get. The results: I got something that looks like a vanilla iced coffee, but its definitely not oil as there is no separation of the oil and the water and there is not rainbow like drops or anything. It just smells like the Bar's Stop Leak product I used, not as strong though. Still haven't noticed any significant oil loss either other than the neglible amount that is leaking on the ledge by the oil filter. Here are a few photos of what came out of the radiator drain. So as of now, I'm inclined to believe it is just the Bar's product based on the fact that whatever it is, is water-soluable and not hydrophobic and also there is no change in performance nor significant oil loss and the oil crankcase itself is not contaminated. Does anyone else believe otherwise?
