I may be wrong but I doubt there is a scum gutter on above ground pools. There may be what is called a skimmer and that is sort of a hollow box like object at one side of the pool - usually located closer to the pool equipment side of the pool. When the pool pump is running you will be able to see water entering the box or skimmer. The purpose of the skimmer is to catch bugs, leaves, etc and to get the water back to the pump. It is part of the circulation system.

How do you get rid of fat particles that have ended up in the pool from the drain layer water blasting the drain next to the pool and now there are greasy flecks all through the surface of the pool?
You have a couple options: 1) use a scum remover product. This has natural enzymes in it that will eat and digest oils. 2)Buy from your pool store a product call"Scum Ball". It's a tennis ball sized soft foam ball that you place in your skimmer and it will collect oils that are floating. 3) Try floating a tennis ball in your skimmer. It doesn't work as well as a "Scum Ball" but it will collect some of the oil.

Your pool has an oily brown film over the top how do you get rid if it?
There are many different products to get oil and scum off the top of your water. Most of them have names like "Oil and Scum Remover". Different pool stores have different kinds, but basically the chemical will bond with the oil, making it clump together, and either sink or keep floating, where it will be picked up by the vacuum or skimmer system. I use Pool Perfect from Leslies and that seems to do the trick. Also, eventually you just have to get in there and scrub it off Besides the above you might try using less sun tan oils and lotions.
