I have a '96 SL1 with about 63,000 miles on it. Noticed something dripping from underneath the car so I opened the hood and found the radiator overflow tank FULL of a semi-solid mustard colored gunk which was overflowing from the tank.
My first thought was a blown head gasket, but the oil on the dipstick is clean. Now I have 2 other ideas - someone mixed green anti-freeze with the original orange stuff and it reacted OR the orange stuff ran very low and was mixed wir air in the cooling system forming this greenish yellow milkshake of sorts (i heard that this can happen with the orange stuff - can anyone verify that ?)
Other than that the car runs fine and is not even overheating !
Anybody heard of this before. Think I can flush the cooling system and continue to drive ? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for your replies
