How do you clean the brown sludge from your water system when your head gasket breaks?

Drain the cooling system as best as you can including the block if possible. Pour two cups of "Lestoil" household cleaner into the radiator and refill with fresh water. Use the vehicle for a week then drain the system again and flush. If there is still evidence of oil in the cooling system treat again with "Lestoil" for another week. Once the system drains and flushes clean, refill with a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and clean water.

Brown sludge in coolant system of 1997 Saturn sl2?
black or brown? does the water look like it has oil in it? That sounds like a cracked block, did the car overheat recently, How is it running right now? If it is running really bad then do a compression check. You could have a blown head gasket to. I just went though that and replaced the motor in my 94 sl1. Good Luck!!

Sounds like the head gasket has gone. either get it fixed quick before the head worps or flush it out with rad flush then add K seal to the collant. this should fix it if the head is not to damaged. The best thing is to simply get the Head gasket fixed.

Why would your 2001 impala have oil in the coolant?
Ewwwwww not good. Looks like you have a blown head gasket and oil is squeezing up the piston bores and through the crack in the gasket into the coolant jacket. I don't know any other way it could get there. Take off your oil filler cap and see if you have a brown foamy sludge in there. That usually means the coolant is going the other way into your crank case. Phil
