Effing Green Coolant in my 90S

Can someone tell me what coolant is used in the b4 12v v6?

I'm getting some smoke. Checked out the coolant res and found that the previous owner used green coolant. All kinds of sludge in there now. I'm guessing this isn't correct. I know vw's and some Audis use G12. Is this what I need for the 90?

They possibly mixed the factory coolant with green. Nothing wrong with green IF you do a flush/clean prior to using it. Sounds like they didn't however. I'd get the Prestone cleaner stuff and use that before doing anything else!
