bit extreme for a headgasket job

i hope its not a serious problem, the car still drives but seems to use quite a bit of water, i think that at the moment it is safe to drive but i wont and refuse to do so as i dont want to cause any damage
i dipped a tissue in the header tank and it came out looking quite brown and very dirty

) is the water in most header tanks like this

is it normal? it smells funny, but i dont know what a normal one smells like as i havent really bothered looking in there unless i have suspected a problem (like now)

Stop using it i just changed my enginge intercooler turbo just for one of the spares i got for piece of mind
also you wont know until its apart extreme or leave to run like a dream !
