ok here's the skinny. I flushed my system about 3 months ago. I drained the fluid out of the radiator, flushed the system with water and ran water through the whole stsem until nothing but water came out, i then used a prestone flushing chemical to take all the rust and grime out of the coolant system. flushed again with water. then i filled the system with half and half and ran the car until full temp was reached. loosend the air bleed bolt and pinched the upper radiator hose a few times to let air out of the system. i drove the car for about an hour to an hour and a half then topped off with half and half again. i also put some half and half in the resevoir...........
sooooo my question is how come my fluid is a nasty orange color and smells like garbage now and is kinda sprayed on my battery, upper radiator and distributor, ???? i replaced the cap thats all i can think of maybe the cap wasn't allowing the fluid to flow into the resevior and it was spraying out the cap seal. that wasn't it. my radiator isn't clogged, and the water pump works fine too...........WTF?
