Default RE: little orange in antifreeze

Did you put the current antifreeze in the motor?

It is possible that someone put the Orange type in your motor, which would be bad...

Regardless, do a cooling system flush and add some new GREEN coolant...

A cracked block would dump coolant... assuming the crack was common to a cooling passage...
