There is only one thing that comes to mind on your problem of a milky coolant and it isn't good news. I am leaning towards you having a cracked block, a cracked head or a blown head gasket. What it sounds like is that engine oil is mixing with your coolant. There are only a few places where this can take place, which I have mentioned. I would run a pressure check on your colling system and watch for the pressure to slowly go down. Also look for milky oil contamination. I wish you the best of luck.

What could cause brown liquid to be sprayed under hood of car around coolant reservoir onto front part of frame and metal cylinder behind reservoir also car was smoking?
Check your dipstick to see if the oil has a milky appearance. If so there is coolant in your oil and you probably have a blown head gasket. If the oil looks normal and the fluid you described as brown looks the same as the color of your motor oil ( a bit dirty ) you have either blown a head gasket or craked the head. If your vehicle has an oil cooler you may have a leak in the lines to it or a leak in the cooler itself. There is also a type of refridgerant ( from your ac system ) that will turn brown when exposed to air.

How does coolant enter the chamber from a blown head gasket?
The head of an engine is cooled from passages in the block. When you blow a head gasket the coolant gets by the passages and into the combustion chamber. Sometimes the coolant doesn't go into the chamber but goes into the oil pan causing the engine oil to turn a milky brown color (looks like a chocolate milkshake).
