Is coolant reservoir color an indicator?
Is the color of the coolant reservoir an indicator of engine 'health'? I'm looking at a few trucks to buy and have noticed in the pictures of the engine, some have really nasty looking reservoirs. For example this one looks nasty compared to some others I've seen: http://images7.ecarlist.com/photos/1...747/800/35.jpg Is that a bad sign?

thanks
