I started on my HG repair/timing belt change today and after I disconnected the hose from the box next to the air filter a bunch of water came out. Is this normal? The hose that goes to the engine looked like it has rust on it and my air filter has a orange brown rust looking spot on it.

I've never heard about that before, and I can't imagine it's normal. Was it just pure water, i.e. no cooland or anything like that in it?

that's just a resonator box. Doesn't really serve a purpose. Probably just got some water in it somehow.

The water was clear, no coolant in it. There was about 1-2 cups of water that came out when I disconnected the hose. The inside of the air filter cover has a light dusting of rust looking dirt.

I'll clean everything up before re-installation. I just freaked out about the water since up until now, the FSM instructions told me when to expect a fluid to leak out of a hose when it is disconnected.
