Could be rust, as your rad is made of metal. Seen this before.

nah its just componants in the engine rusting due to exposure to water, totally harmless tbh.

Might be worth getting some radflush and get ur water system totally flushed out but other than that not car life threatening!

no it doesnt, its probably becasue you havent changed your anti freeze often enough. its rust from engine parts. antifreeze has a rust inhibitor in it.
