hm, it just might be stop leak or residue of it. if its creamy brown its usually oil one of the signs of a blown head gasket. does the car blow white smoke consistantly? if not then you have nothing to worry about.

Check your oil for coolant contamination. It'll look like white stuff in your oil.

Has your radiator turned brown? Over time Miata radiators will turn brown and need to be replaced. Might just need to replace the radiator and do a coolant flush and you'll be good.
