Rusty Coolant?

87supraturbo · 08-29-2005, 09:19 PM

I just got a 1987 supra turbo and its got a brand new rad in it and i opened it up last night to check the fluid level and i opened the cap and the coolant was all brown and rusty. Leads me to beleive that theres moistur getting in somehwhere but its a brand new rad, any thoughts?

Thanks

new radiator = new coolant usually. is it prety brown? if so, good me a HG. just a thought, seen it before.
