engine coolant

[marc_v33]

was having a check over a pals mini wen i noticed the coolant level was very low but what was left was a beige colour, does this mean oil is getting in somewhere causing the colour?
cheers marc

If its got a scum around the tank then yes oil must be getting in somewhere:frown: but if it looks clean but a beige colour then it sound OK:thumbs up: Coolant comes in some odd colours now.....not just green like in the old days:Whistle:

there was a wee bit on the lid of the coolant tank.. any easy way of sorting this or just get it into the garage?

My coolant used to turn brown, unless there is significant oil residue i wouldn't be overly concerned about it, but, make sure it's at the correct level
