The yellow coolant cap has a long dipstick attached to it. There are a series of holes in it with an up arrow (low) and down arrow (full). The coolant level should be between the arrows to the full mark. Mine has a little bit of rust inhibitor mid way on the dipstick but not caked on.
You can open the cap while the engine is hot without fear of scalding.
The rust inhibitor is there for a reason, and after flushing I would want it replaced. I do agree Rene over reacted, and although some don't trust their dealer (I do) I would let them dictate what's best in accordance to warranty not a place that has little to no experience with these engines.
