brown means that some mup didnt keep the anti corrosion mixture in a good state and just topped it up with straight tap water , but as long as its not leaking it will be fine, just get it professionally flushed to clean out any build up of that browning crap, and and it will look like new on the inside, then just keep it that way and it will be a mint rad, year straighten the fins just, whats the stains? oil, corrosion looking white crap?
