temp gauge moving
I recently noticed temp gauge moving up and down. Added coolant as it was low. For several weeks temp gauge stayed at normal.. yesterday i noticed it moving again. I pulled radiator cap and its brownish around cap... Im afraid its a head gasket but want to know if it could possibly or hopefully be something else. Any thoughts? Thanks for ur help

Checked oil. Actually looked a little low. Then checked coolant and it was really low. I added water and it took 3 mason jars of water to fill radiator.... I have no experience in dealing with this but if antifreeze is leaking into oil or vice versa shouldnt one of them have reallg high levels?

UPDATE... I drained the radiator tonight and put prestone flush in it. Ran it through and drained it. It was brown... But i realized i had added coolant a few weeks ago and that might have discolored it.. so i flushed it with water again and it still came out brown... Does that make sense? I did add bars sealant and then antifreeze and water.. ran it for over 20 mins and it never moved...

well..
head gasket would mean that coolant is being burnt off through the exhaust. so you may not notice a leak, but you could see white smoke out the tail pipe...
but hopefully that isn't the issue.
