my car over heated tonight,and when I opened up the cap to the block the little bit of water that spewed out was dark brown. What is the color from and what can I do to fix the prob?

Rust... Did you have antifreeze? The first thing I would do is to find out if there is a leak... You should have the radiator checked for blockage (rust and sediment) at a radiator shop they might have to rod out radiator ... You should flush out the block there is a drain valve above the rear motor mount to drain the block... Also might be time for a waterpump

YES, actually you should/will be flushing the entire cooling system. If its still overheating, start with the easy stuff first, check for a leak at the waterpump, & check the thermostat.
