Hi,

our Lumina have things in the Cooling water, its like white mud.
Is that normal? The last change was couple of years ago...
Oh before I change the water it was blue now we add red one...

We did change the water but its coming back, can it be that was the rest?

is it thick and slimy? if so, it is oil.white-tan is usually motor oil,pink is ATF. with any luck it's just an oil cooler in the radiator and not a head or intake gasket.

Its beige not brown or pink, its not thick, i cant touch it... The oil looks like new, and we didnt have a leak, we didnt lost something.

i would take it out and clean it. see if it does it again. it may be something simple. maybe some kind of residue created from back pressure...
