Anyone ever heard of this? My research says blown head gasket, it's like a powdery goop kinda odd, never seen or heard of this, recent coolant flush and new coolant,

Green antifreeze + brown oil = yellow sludge.

Lol no it's not egg it's nothing that's been put in on purpose, I've had the jeep for 6 years I'm past the previous owners problems. Now all the problems were created by me, I work out of town and can't get a pic cause the jeeps at home, ill report bak and post up when I get home tho.
