It could be rusty water, if there's no antifreeze in it.

I'd be finding a reservoir to put on there...

Coolant lines do run up to the throttle body (the highest of which is the
preferred one to leave off when flushing the system to get all the air
out,
then hook it up.)  Maybe one of those is leaking or split?

  The color of the anti-freeze should match what you have when you peak in
the radiator, I would guess, or it would seem to be some other fluid.  As
for it being brown, it may need flushed really bad, or I've seen the new
high-mileage anti-freeze look orange when cold, and like chocolate milk
when
hot and stirred up.

The hoses and clamps look ok, yet I noticed something strange the other
day.  First was that my car has no coolant reservoir tank for it to
overlow into.  Not sure if this is a problem or not.  Then last night
after I got done driving it for a while I noticed I was leaking coolant,
from what appeared to be somewhere up on top of the intake.  It smelled
really burnt to0, and was really brown looking.  ????

Bad heater core or slight leak at the firewall hose/core connections
that
run into the core box?

Hello,

            Tonight I tried my heat out for the very first time since I
bought my new SHO and something is defiantly wrong!  When you turn the
blower on it blows a ton of smoke out of the vents that smells like
coolant/antifreeze.  Had to open the windows and get out before I passed
out.  Only comes out when the unit is on though.  I'm not sure where to
begin with this one.  Help!
