it is more than likely a build up of shit,corrossion over time

when was the coolant changed last?

drain the coolant,and flush the system as it should be done.refill with 50/50 disstilled water and glycol ethylene anti-corrosion inhibitor(anti-freeze).......

if you have never had any issues with the cooling system or overheating problems then it is almost certainly a build up of crap over the life of the current cooling in the system.
