100% certain? Really? Guess he should thank you for driving to his house and "personally" checking it for him. There is no reason to be a fainting goat.....

Untill you rule everything out, you don't know anything. Follow the above advice...

1) Flush the radiator (if you dont want to a local shop should do it for around $45)

2) Monitor the system.

A couple of questions.

a) How long have you owned it and how many miles does it have?

b) Has it ever over heated since you have owned it? (If not it is very unlikly that is it because of a head gasket)

Reason is is some people will just add fluid to there resevior tank to "fill it up" cause they think it needs it. Remember that there are different color radiator fluids, and if you mix the orange and the green it will look brown and somewhat milky. There are also additives you can add that claim to lower engine temps. The only problem is that they are somtimes different colors and that can cause a color change. They also have special additives to put in incase you think your radiator is leaking to try and seal the leak. That can change colors as well when mixed. Do you have any oil leaks under the motor? Do you know if the radiator has ever leaked or been replaced? Do you change your oil regularly? Again good questions to ask.

Hope that helps.
