My 99 ford Taurus has a milky brown fluid in the coolant tank. Any suggestions as to what could be wrong?

The engine oil is fresh, with no milky color. It is an amber brown.

the tranny fluid is pink/red

my car will start, however it will not leave park. The gear shift will move but the car will not leave park.

someone said it could be my head gasket however the car NEVER ran hot nor did it have any white smoke.
ill take any suggestions or help offered.

You have motor oil in your coolant system. The only way it can get there's from a head gasket leak or a crack in the engine block. You will probably notice a drop in oil level depending on how severe the leak is.

White smoke is when coolant gets into the oil system, not when oil gets into the coolant system.

Hopefully you have just a gasket leak, otherwise the engine is wrecked.

Transmission cooler leaking. Replace your radiator and flush your cooling system.

  • 2002 ford taurus coolant bubbling out of coolant tank cap? Coolant is bubbling out of the tank cap on my taurus. The coolant is a bit over the fill to line. The coolant is the normal green color. I don't think it having a bit of extra coolant in the tank is doing this. The cap itself maybe? I just bought this car and it didn't do this until today.
  • My 2000 Ford Windstar has a coolant leak. What could be causing it to leak? It has two leaks. One is from the passenger side near the front tire and the second is right below the driver's seat. I have to replace the coolant after I have had the heater on for a bit. I never have it on for more than 15 min. Not because the coolant runs out in that time but I just don't use it for long. I took it to the mechanic and he stated it was the "lower intake manifold gasket". I'm asking if anyone has any other ideas because that repair is pretty pricey.

  • Any suggestions on what may be wrong with my ford sync mytouch radio? I have a 2011 ford edge sel it has a sync my touch system. Occasionally my system would shut off black screen and turn back on. I read online ford seems to have an issue in this with many of their cars. Now my system has stood black for 2 days. You can hear music and the ac works. But no screen and no phone charger. Ford is charging 130 just to look at it. Before I pay do you think its a fuse
