Lately my temperature gauge has been going to the RED area. I noticed there was no coolant in my car, so I put some in. A day later, there was a leak of what looked like brown dark chocolate oil leaking in the front driver's side. Today, there was the same brwon milky chocolate concoction overflowing out of my coolant reservoir. HELP! What's going on?

Suspect faulty head gasket issue. Coolant is leaking into gasket mixing with the oil and being pumped back into your cooling system with the oil mixed. You need to have a pressure test done to confirm this. I do not recommend driving vehicle until repairs are made.
