Why would the water in your radiator turn thick and yellow after overheating. This was both in the radiator and the overflow.?

The most likely cause of this is a blown head gasket dumping oil back into the coolant passages. The oil will mix with the glycol in the antifreeze and make a thick yellow paste. It is very important to flush the cooling system after the repair or this sludge will cause heating problems.

Could be a stuck thermostat in closed position, or defective water pump. Check by squeezing top thick radiator hose and feel for water flowing, when realising, you should hear a squeezing noise. And check if hose is hot.
