You should not be seeing any "rusty" water if you have coolant in the system. Are you seeing the Dexcool orange, or actual rusty water?
If you don't have coolant in the system, that could be part of the problem.
If you are smelling coolant, check to make sure your radiator tank cap is holding pressure, and there is not any fluid deposits around the weep hole on the water pump.
