brownish coolant ????

While pulling my turbos, I drained my coolant and discovered it had a brownish tint to the normaly green color. Just curious if it is a sign of doom for my engine.

Seems like your cooling system wasn't properly maintained. Flush it completely, drain the block too, & replace with your chosen ratio of coolant & distilled water. 50/50 is standard.
