Hello guys,
Just checked my coolant and it's like dark orange//oil..
I've took a couple of pics to explain better, but even though I'm a newbie with cars, I'm guessing it shouldn't be like this..

Any advice or idea what it could be?
Thanks

Not too sure, I brought the car about 2 months ago and been driving a couple of weeks, I checked to make sure it had some in there by shaking the bottle but never opened it until this evening.
