Just as the title says.
Entertain this before shooting it down:
My coolant boiled over. I thought the fan thermo switch died. I drain my coolant and it comes out brown and strong smelling. I check the switch, but it still works. I flush a dozen gallons of water through the cooling system and most of the water was a dark brown color.
I thought it was my headgasket, but I just had my oil changed to some red stuff and I did not find any mayonnaise. I put some fresh coolant in, start it up, and it runs great.
My question is this:
Is it possible that some bros at the shop had too many beers and put oil into the radiator thinking it was coolant? Is there a secret trick to keeping the cooling system from corroding? Is this sabotage?
I have the old coolant in a jug and it appears to contain: Anti-Freeze, Water, Fresh Motor Oil, Gasoline, and some kind of additive.
It stained my driveway when it boiled over.
