What is this mythical creature 'hot water donkey'?
It's not like drop bears or bunyips Peb. This one is for real!

Well we know what a hot water donkey is now, but what's a drop bear or a bunyip??
Wellington, if you can't see inside the drum I'd guess it has some lining that is heat sensitive and is now being released into the water with the heat. I'd have thought rust too, but I doubt it if the drum had thinners in it, unless the top has been open for a while.
