If you mean the coolant overflow reservoir, it may be oil. You may also see foam on oil fill cap which would be coolant in oil. Have found out that GM used plastic gaskets for the intake manifolds on 3.1L V6 engines and they have a history of going bad. Get it checked if you have a trustworthy mechanic. I let mine go and ended up having the engine bearings go bad.

How do you flush the radiator in a 1991 Plymouth Voyager?

Dont try to flush the radiator... when you drain it and try to flush it, what you will be doing is breaking up all the old gunk in the radiator, by breaking it up, you will have no clue if its completely clean or not, so if the gunk is still floating around, it could go threw the engine and clog up the engine, making it over heat and really mess things up... now if you want to just change the coolant, the drain plugs are on the botton corners of the radiator, theres 1 or 2 drain plugs... i forgot how many, but it would be alot safer to change coolant, then to try to flush the radiator.
