Hey Dave,

What kind of coolant do you use and what's the seasonal temperature like
in your area? Same thing happened to me a while back and though the
coolant being brown isn't a world-ending problem, it wouldn't hurt to
change it again.  Turns out the coolant was just circulating through my
cooling system and picked up some rust off the parts and such. Usual
stuff.  Apparently, I used 'regular' water instead of distilled water to
refresh my system even though I got the mixture right.  Didn't think it
was that big a deal but I guess it was. In a nutshell, just change the
coolant, no biggy.
