1ST POST !
i have a 2001 jeep cherokee with the I6 4.0 @ 66k miles.
i noticed the fluid in my radiator reservoir tank looked dark. so i opened it up and its a brownish rusty color.definitely not neon green. i also noticed that there is a wet area around where the head gasket is and its towards the back. i pulled the dip stick to see if the oil looked milky but it doesnt and its not over heating or loosing coolant.i even took off the oil cap and looked to see if the oil was milky on the cap and its not.oil level is good too.
i heard that the 01 Cherokee is known to have issues with the head cracking at cylinder 3 and 4 but i also have read that its the engine with out the distributor that that happens with,tjs and wjs. again that is only what i read.
im wonder if i just may need a radiator flush or maybe something is rusting in the coolant system...
also im not noticing any type of smoke out the exhaust.
thanks in advance !
