I noticed a pool of brown gunk on my garage floor this morning. My wife has been driving my accord (I know) to work. The car can be on fire and she probably wouldn't notice and keep driving. Anyhow, I popped the hood and noticed the coolant reservoir was overflowing with the same gunk. My guess is that oil is mixing with the coolant because the engine overheated and blew the head gasket. Maybe the thermostat got stuck and heat built up. If that's the case what will I likely have to do beside replace the head gasket? Is my radiator toast as well? There are no other leaks that I can see. Just the overflow. Thanks for any advice. Oh and when I pulled out the dipstick it looked like it was just oil and not the same gunk.
