    Did you drain the oil?

    I think it's the headgasket. You can have a little water in the oil and it not be noticeable. Only way to determine that is if you have it tested. I'd suggest you have a mechanic look it over if possible.

    FYI mixing Toyota pink coolant with a none compatible antifreeze will turn it brown.

    You could star over with a flush kit which you can get a walmart cheap. Flush it out good (have the heater on and it blowing). See if it returns back to the brown crap. If it does, then there is an oil leak. Are you losing oil at all?

    Don't forget to monitor the oil for water too. Keep an eye on the temp gauge also.
