323 SP20 - Coolant seems going bad all the time

Hi,

It seems a coolant in the overflow bottle goes bad (a bit brown/yellow from a green color) very quickly (maybe few hundred ams). First time it happened, radiator was flushed by a mechanic and a coolant tested for an oil residue, it came out negative (so he tells me). It got replaced, soon after it went bad again. When i empty out the overflow bottle and add more coolant it goes bad again. The car runs fine otherwise, not temperature issues. Also it seems that coolant in the radiator is actually fine (when I open up the lid) and it is not leaking. Any ideas on what to do?

Thanks,
