Things have been done:
I have removed Coolant reservoir & cleaned dried greenish residue. Filled reservoir with new Super Tech 50/50 Antifreeze/Coolant Pre-Mix.
Engine Temperature Gauge showing normal temperature. Coolant reservoir has gone down month back when I saw this residue and topped up the coolant.
Now Engine oil level has gone down drastically. Its below Low level.

the missing coolant and oil is not ok. but some greenish residue inside coolant reservoir seems ok/normal to me.
it wouldn't be unusual for the engine to be burning the oil, or leaking it onto the ground under the car. put white paper under car overnight to see what leaks.
