at least i think so..

im pretty sure im in something deep here.. i noticed my car was leaking oil.. dont know from were but it leaks a little bit.. i was checking oil levels and coolant.. and when i opened the dip stick for the coolant i was SHOCKED at what i saw.. that anti-freeze mix looks like mud!! WTF.. its brown with some small clunks of idk what.. i emptied it all out and put water in it, ran it for a little then emptied it again and so forth.. did this about 5 times and i bought some radiator flush and did that.. then i put in some new antifreeze in and let it be.. i went to the store a couple minutes later and thats was it.. then i drove to work this morning and checked it again.. the antifreeze is starting to get brown alredy!!! not even 30 miles after i flushed it all out!!

anybody know what my problem can be? headgasket?

 

probably more nasty junk flushing out. you could flush that crap forever, and probably never get it all out.

 

So i shouldnt worry?? what is all that gunk and how the hell does it get in there?

 

Better check your oil again,if you have milky white stuff all over the dipstick you may have a headgasket going bad.
Any white smoke coming out the exhaust?
Was the coolant level low?

 

there is no white stuff in the dipstick.. just what looked like mudd.. little clunks of it too..

and no white smoke, ive been checking for that. the coolant level was not low.

i also checked the oil lid to see if there was any water residue or anything for signs of a blown head gasket and i found nothing.

i still have the problem of my car not staying on.. when i turn the ignition on, i have to keep my foot on the gas a little so it doesnt die.. once i get it on i have to put it in 1st and move the car about 10ft, then it wont die any more.. idk what that problem is either.. any guesses as to why i have to put it in gear and move it a little so it doesnt die?

 

If you believe that there is oil in the coolant, a common cause is that the transmission oil cooler inside the radiator sprung a leak. Check the transmission fluid level and condition. The transmission fluid operates at a much higher pressure than the coolant in the radiator and usually only leaks into the radiator.

 

ohh.. and just about 2 weeks ago i started noticing my car temp gettting a little hotter than normal.. there was heavy traffic for about 30 min on the freeway and the car temp got a little bit above half way.. i got a little hint of anti freeze for a quick sec. the temp stayed at that level for about 15 min while i was still in traffic. then it went down to normal after driving at normal freeway speeds..

 

ummm were do i check my trans fluid??

 

Transmission dip stick, if you have an automatic. Manual does not use a cooler.

 

Could your car have had a radiator and or heatercore leak in the past that maybe a prior owner might have "fixed" with barsleaks sealer?
It's brown and lumpy looking stuff.
