Default Coolant drying up in reservoir. Bad head gasket?

My 93 with 180K is really frustrating me. All the coolant that was in the reservoir has turned to a brownish mud and almost solidified. I think it is a head gasket issue. My original engine was replaced 3 years ago with a used (35K) JDM motor. My engine is performing horribly and i suspect the oil and coolant are mixing. Anyone have any thoughts on my diagnosis or know what im going to be looking at in terms of price to fix.

It sounds like your head gasket but I'm not 100% sure
