Oil in Coolant Tank

Hey guys... so new engines running fine. Went out side the other morning to let the car warm up and got the coolant light. When i popped the hood, the coolant was a oily brown color. I don't know if it was like this when i got the car back or this is new. The coolant level was definitely below the low level, this explains the light. Im going to flush it today and poor some of the coolant into a bottleand see if it separates. Anyone have any ideas?

I agree why waste your time and effort on something that they screwed up. Let them fix the issue

Brown.... Brown.... I don't mind doing it myself. Quite honestly I don't really want to have spend the time to do it and take it them wait for it. It would take me maybe 30 min max to do it start to finish. I'm doing it first thing in the morning so I'll post when i get finished.
