Brown gunk = Radiator Flush or ? - 08/08/08 10:51 AM

Hey this 97 se has brown gunk on sides of resivoir, I don't see anything floating around, Do I just need to flush it? is that normal to have sticky brown sh#t there, is it from dex coolant? I popped off radiator cap and see some sh#t floating around,and underside of radiator cap has brown gunk on it also. Is that bad or normal?
Thanks

Flush it the system and fill with green and you'll be good to go.
