Oil in the coolant

Hi,

Am hoping I can lean on the collective wisdom here to help me identify an issue on my 2010 Tenere.

I have noticed that there appears to be oil in the coolant ie the water has gone black and the texture of the water has a slightly oily shine to it.

The coolant level does not seem to have changed, its just the colour that�s changed. The engine oil level has dropped slightly, but not sure if this is related the issue or if its just general oil consumption.

I am unsure whether it�s the head gasket or water pump that�s at fault. However, the engine oil is not emulsified and it seems to be running ok, so I�m guessing it�s the water pump seal and not the head gasket?

Has any body got any thoughts or experience on the above issue?

Rgds
