its it brown muddy looking and its all over take out the resevoir and wash it reall good and put it back in and take your car to like valvoline and have them flush it out its a 100% flush it flushes your radiator your block heater core..... or if you want to save the money you could gt a water hose and conect it to the top radiator line and disconect the bottom one and just flush it out with water. nothing is wrong with your car and i don;t think that it would hurt anything.
