I was recently checking on my v6 ecotec and noticed under the radiator cap that brown liquid was there, along with some sludge building up. See attached images.
My mind immediately thinks either head gasket, valley gasket, or something wrong with the transmission cooling.
The weird thing is that there is no real symptoms coming from the car. Oil looks clean with no sludge or foam under cap or dipstick, car runs great, doesn't have overheating issues. Only thing that I could think thats related is that the coolant level is a touch low.
It has only appeared in the last 500kms or so. For context my car has done about 285k kms.
I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue or knows exactly what is the probable cause.
Cheers
