Is the engine water cooled ? Coffee colored (assuming with cream) usually indicates water mixed in. Either from internal leak (if water cooled) or water intrusion or doesn't get run much and humidity caused water droplets in the oil ?

I'm not a Generac technician...more like a generic technician. LOL.
