If the anti-freeze in your radiator or overflow tank is a chocolate color it usually means that oil is probably getting into your cooling system. It is possibly an intake gasket leaking or maybe a head gasket or there may be a crack. Have a qualified person pressure check your system as anti-freeze and oil aren't a good mix. Also check your oil for a high level or a milky coating on the dipstick.
