Default Flush oil/anti-freeze mix from crankcase?

I'm currently in the process of pulling the head from my A to replace a suspect head gasket.
A few days ago I came home from a 20 mile run and noticed light green "goop" dripping from the flywheel housing, upon checking the oil it was the same goop up to about 1/2" over the full mark.
Running 50/50 water/antifreeze I'm concerned about getting as much goop out of the engine as possible.
I haven't drained the oil yet and I know I'll have to drop the pan to clean the dipper troughs out.

Any suggestions?
