Tonight, I decided to take my integra out for a little drive around my college's city. I started going up the mountain when I started noticing my temperature gauge rising slowly. It went past half and to 3/4 of the way to hot before I pulled over and popped the hood for further inspection. I found out my coolant in my reservoir is a rusty, orangeish color when it should be bright green. (I believe I had prestone 50/50 in it) my oil was also extremely low on the dipstick. I turned the car back on and drove it straight to autozone to pick up a quart of oil, and the car stopped over heating. It was roughly 58 degrees outside with a cool wind.
I've been reading around and have been getting mixed answers. It's not chocolate colored, more so rust colored. Oil is relatively clean. I'm due for an oil change in about 400 miles. Also have a leaking oil pan gasket, however it's not that bad. I am hoping it is not my had gasket as I do not have the money to pay for what's needed. The car also needs the valves to be adjusted. It's a 96 LS B18B1 with 187,000 miles on engine and transmission. Any help would be much appreciated. I should mention that I am going to school for automotive technology ATM and am currently in a transmission class, but have access to a full shop.
