I have a Saturn that all of a sudden developed a thick yellow slimy gunk that made my car overheat. When I say all of a sudden I mean fine one minute overheated and spewing the next. Does anyone know what it is and how to get it out?

Most likely it's oil and from the oil cooler leaking into coolant it's sitting is ur oil low like it came out of there. That's the only thing I have really seen on those is the oil cooler leak oil into the coolant and make a big mess. Let me know what u find.
