Do you mean foam? throthy?

I'd advise just to flush the cooling system, because it hasn't run for so long, all the deposits etc will have settled in the rad and system, this is probably the result of it all mixing back up.

Is it a brown colour?........that's rust..............nothing to worry about just flush it out, as your cooling wont be as efficient with all that crap in there. :agree:
