i had that same crap in my ast... i just washed it through when i flushed out my coolant and replaced it...

Is it the same oily gunk most FDs have on the coolant dipstick? If so, that's pretty normal. Unless there's a ton of of it.

Maybe you lost a coolant seal. Looks like oil to me...

Looks like that block seal stuff. Maybe there was something in the radiator you installed. I'd flush again and make sure to blow out the coolant recovery hose.

block seal stuff? okkkk which one is the recovery hose?

Gadd

It's the small hose that comes off the top of the ast and runs to the recovery tank. It can become clogged with gunk like that, and won't allow coolant to flow back to the motor when it cools.

Block seal is an additive added to the cooling system to stop leaks.
