Re: 1997 windstar mysterious brown sludge in cooling system

my bad... this has a timing chain... please disregard my belt comment :P

my guess, maybe someone else has used one of those bars leaks, either in tablet form or pre-mixed in a small plastic bottle

i've cracked one bottle just to be curious a long time ago & that's what it look like inside that bottle
,,, but on the 2nd pic, that's not likely... that's waaay to brown

look inside this bottle and you'll see what i mean:
