92 900T Head Gasket symptoms?

Just looked at one of my dream cars - a dark green 900T Convertible with a 5-speed! Pretty good shape, but when I started looking at it, I noticed the coolant reservoir was empty and had the chocolate milk residue at the bottom. We filled it up and I drove it a bit - the car started fine, drove fine, idled fine...no white smoke at the exhaust - the temp gauge stayed right where it was supposed to be. When I stopped, I checked the coolant and it was very oily (dark black). Thoughts? Is this likely an early head gasket issue since I don't have the white smoke and the car behaves just fine?
My previous classic 900 experience was with a 900 8-valve NA, so I've a bit to learn about the 16 valve turbos...
