Tell me about it. I had a little brown gunk in the cooling system of my Chrysler. Thought to myself, "Hey self, let's flush this and get it nice and clean before refilling it with coolant!"

Rinse - Rinse - Flush - Rinse Rinse Rinse - Fill...

"Gee self, why is their coolant dribbling all over my shop floor? Oh, look! I have two leaking freeze plugs now!"

Crappy corrosion-prone freeze plugs for the lose! That gunk in my coolant system? Yeah, turns out it was stop-leak. My 57,000 mile car came with stop-leak in the cooling system. Well, it still runs great... I just need to figure out how to replace the two $1.50 plugs without having to pull the motor.
