Thanks everyone.
The coolant was put in back in December -- my lower radiator hose needed replacement and lost about 1/2 of the coolant. I was planning on doing a coolant flush/replace hoses/thermostat routine this summer.
Topped off with distilled water, so I could see it being diluted, but until last week was a bright green. Had a chance to do a better inspection today, and the fluid is more yellowish than clear. The level is at the same place -- about "one finger" off the cold mark. More worrisome is when I touched some of the fluid it felt oily. No signs of any oil spots, however.
Sigh.
