Default AntiFreeze gel

I noticed that the top 1/4 th in the overflow cannister
of the antifreez have "gellied"(sp) up. It is nearly
colour less, and have no distinctive smell or feel...

I have gotten 2-3 different answers... What do you
gays think?

Anything with the liquid coolant addative?

TIA. H.

Weird. Any chance Dexcool (deathcool) got mixed with the glycol based
stuff? It will cause problems but I've only read about it - dunno what
it looks like.

I'd get this investigated quickly.

Did you just add the additive (the Subaru recommended one in the little blue
bottle)?

When I did that after the recall first was done, a yellow-ish crust appeared
on the walls of the overflow tank (the plastic translucent one).

It COULD be the coolant additive. After all, it is supposed to coat and
soak into the gastkets.

At the time you added the additive, did you change the coolant?
