Check your dipstick to see if the oil has a milky appearance. If so there is coolant in your oil and you probably have a blown head gasket. If the oil looks normal and the fluid you described as brown looks the same as the color of your motor oil ( a bit dirty ) you have either blown a head gasket or craked the head. If your vehicle has an oil cooler you may have a leak in the lines to it or a leak in the cooler itself. There is also a type of refridgerant ( from your ac system ) that will turn brown when exposed to air.

How does coolant get into the oil?

There are a few ways this can occur. If there are no other symptoms it might just be a leak in the front cover (where water pump is bolted to engine). A blown cylinder head gasket, cracked head or engine block could also be the cause. These are usually (but not always) accompanied by other symptoms. Such as little or no interior heat, white exhaust smoke (steam) ,and or air bubbles in the radiator recovery tank. (take CAUTION when looking in the recovery tank hot coolant can be sprayed out without warning). The engine will likely overheat as well, (temperature sending units and the thermostat can fail to operate properly if there is air (combustion gasses) in the coolant system. Engine coolant in the oil will destroy the crankshaft bearings. Have the coolant system pressure tested.

What is special about changing the coolant in a 1995 Buick Regal -- why would a manual say not to open the radiator cap?

The assumption is, the engine is hot and if you open the radiator cap you will be sprayed with hot radiator coolant. If I'm not mistaken, didn't the 95 Buick use the "permanent" radiator coolant? If so, don't change it until the specified time. Just don't open it while it's hot. Do it when the car is cool.
