i have a 1996 chevrolet s10 single cab long bed.
my problem which started yesterday is, i went to brake and the car stopped a bunch of nasty brown water just started pouring out from under my dashboard. its like right where the transmission hump is at, its like a waterfall on both sides of the hump just pouring out. any ideas/help would be GREATLY appreciated. thanks!

oh one more thing, i had a test done on my cooling system and the auto repair guys told me that i have a blown radiator (i have a crack on the left cell) so every 4-5 days i have to keep pouring water in my radiator. so i dont know if that has anythign to do with it, but since i pour water in my radiator and water coming from under my dash, its the only thing i could think of

Your heater core is pry also leaking. The only thing that I know that could be leaking coolant into the cab is a leaky heater core. The coolant or water usually is brown too because a lot of corrosion build up takes place in heater cores especially if its the original equipment.A question for you is how long has there been just straight water in your coolant system? Water doesn't help the corrosion factor.
