old sludge. i recommend you get a rad. flush kit .

take out the thermostat, drain coolant, and run a water hose through your system.
THen get that radiator flush stuff and put it in there and drive for at least 40 miles (because no thermostat). Then flush again with water.
Then drain and get all the water out that you can, and then fill it with 50/50 antifreeze. Probably a good time to change the thermostat.What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.
You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

yeah what I would do is reach underneath there with your hand and find out if there are any wet spots.
I recently had to replace that colant bypass hose, that U shaped hose that goes from the thermostat to the intake manifold on my beater DD car. That was about 10 bucks at Checker Auto.
But the only way to find out would be to do a visual inspection.
