brown stuff is pouring out of my coolant resivor, but its not over heating wut could the problem be? i smashed the top of my inercooler could that be it?

 

Sounds like it might be time to call The Exorcist!!

I have NO idea. You are getting pressure into your cooling system somehow. How did you smash your intercooler?

 

i left a light bulb box on it n closed the hood lol but i was told it was the head gasket. never have work done by dinan motor sports!!!!

 

A bad head gasket will do it! Pressure from one of the cylinders leaks into the cooling system and forces all of the coolant out. But if it's brown, you might want to change your coolant more often.

 

it was just changed by dinan 2months ago when i had some problems with the work they did

 

WOW! A little bit of fuel and maybe oil could get into the cooling system but not enough to turn it brown, I wouldn't think. The other possibility is that the block is cracked - I hope not for your sake - and is allowing engine oil to contaminate the coolant.

Do you have water in the crank case? If so, that could be a clue as to what will need attention.

In any case, that sucks!

 

what color is the oil on the dip stick?

 

their isnt any

 

FWIW, my old CRX says that a leaky head gasket can let enough oil get into the coolant to create a lovely (not) light brown sludge in the radiator. Continued on for months, with no transfer of coolant into the oil.

 

Not sure what is causing the overflow but MINI coolant does turn brown with age. Could someone have overfilled it when the car was cold?

 

there is no color on dip stick or oil on the dip stick?

 

I'll second that!

 

Yes!! That could be a serious problem...
