Default Brown gunk in my water reservoir?

I have a thick light brown gunk liquid in my water tank. Any one enlighten me what this is and how to get rid of it?? Any help would be appreciated. Smells like oil and water has mixed. Just had a service recently and I think they may have over filled the oil and it may getting in through the breather pipe at the top of the engine.
