Yeah, dexcool is something that has just came out in the last few years. Your car originally came with the green stuff and I would do like Leean said and flush out the system and refill with 50/50.

That's Great because I was getting worried. I had added the normal green antifreeze in the first place. And about the rust I was super lucky it sat under a cover in a barn. Ill post shots of the engine bay. You wont believe how clean it is.

It was a vacation car that they kept at their vacation home. Only drove it when they were in town. I dont believe it was a project. Every thing is stock

That's odd you may have a leaking oil pan gasket since it only leaks when your running it, Getting hot and oil pan expanding their for opening up. either your gasket is crack or you need to tighten up the oil pan bolts
