First you've GOT tpdetermine what the thick red gunk is and where it came from. Is it some kind of oil or what and how did it get in there? You'll have to make any needed repairs before you go any further. After that, flushing is easy. Buy some radiator flush at an auto parts store and follow the enclosed directions.

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.
How do you drain the radiator on a 1998 Ford Escort?
Lower radiator hose. It may be easier to use the drain plug located on the left hand side of the radiator. Its on the back of the radiator. Do not mistake the heater core for the radiator. The radiator is the one with the thick rubber hoses. To take off the lower radiator hose you have to remove the air filter box.

Can a bad water pump be the cause of the heater not to work in a 2001 vw passat?
Yes....from your radiator in the front, squeeze one of the thick hoses when the car is running....if there is pressure (it's hard to squeeze), then your water pump is working. If it's easy for you to squeeze it all the way, the water pump has failed.
