    Nothing is wrong with it. This is natural and all engines shed some
    oxide in water.

    There are one or two ferrous components in the cooling system. Anti
    freeze mix can become acidic after a while and start eating through such
    parts. When the rusty water starts to show, a flush through and fresh
    antifreeze mix every few years is a good idea.
