Looks like you're getting coolant mixed in with the engine oil. Not good. Receipe for disaster. Could be a bad head gasket and/or cracked head. Do not run engine any longer until you have it checked out. Coolant in the oil will destroy bearings in a short time.

What could cause brown liquid to be sprayed under hood of car around coolant reservoir onto front part of frame and metal cylinder behind reservoir also car was smoking?
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.

What to lube if your car runs out of oil?
If your car is running out of oil, I would be extremly worried because if you car does not contain any oil then your engine would seize. If you are changing your oil, you need a new oil filter and you rub some new oil on the seal of the new filter so it does not melt to your car. Make sure your bolt that hold your oil in your oil sump is still there. Change your oil after 6000 kilometers. If your oil is still fairly clear your good.

What do you do if you put the wrong oil in your car?
The answer to this depends on what kind of oil you are talking about. If you put a heavier weight oil (like 5 weight) in your car instead of say,30 weight, it will cause your car to act sluggish in the cold weather because the oil is thicker. If you put a lighter weight (30 weight ) in a vehicle that needs a heavier oil, the car will still run but not as well as using the correct type of oil. If you put transmission oil in your car's engine oil pan by mistake; you should empty out the oil pan immediately (when the oil and car are cold) and flush it or refill it with the correct oil as soon as you have realized it was the wrong oil.
