I thought my coolant was low because on the gauge it showed 1/3 full but when i started to fill up brown crap came out of it right away.

First picture show what came out when I initially filled up

Second picture shows the bottom after taking out the coolant

Third shows in the inside wall with the brown gunk caked on

Fill it up with water and sucked it out a few times and the brown crap didnt come off the walls.

As for the last picture it shows new coolant added after "cleaning"

I did research on here and I fear the worse then just a "oil cooler"

How screwed am I?
