Re: 98 rad cap question =-

The brown gunk is from dex-cool being exposed to air. This indicates a bad radiator cap. The filler neck has two steps, just make sure the cap is secured down to the second stop (push down and turn til it stops, then repeat). Radiator caps from Auto-zone/Advance are fine as long as they are of the proper pressure. Stant is a good aftermarket brand if you can't find AC-Delco.
