I'd flush the whole system again and replace it with a different brand of coolant.

or you could be getting very small amounts of oil into the water i have seen it happen, no water in the oil but the water looks like sh*t... id say flush the cooling system with straight water and maybe some cooling system flush, then refil with 50/50 mix...

thats what i used actually....im not sure if it was the cleaner or not but im pretty sure they had a flush fluid too and thats the one i used i think....does it really matter if you have the front end jacked up or is it good enough that i have that cap that comes with the kit in between the line now???
