Teeth chattering at the thought of the cost,

You can change the oil in a diesel one day...and the next it's black.

Coolant, being a Surf, could contain radweld.

Other than the coolant, not out of the ordinary. As Slobodan said, the oil will blacken fairly quickly. A.T.F wise, I dropped and replaced mine the other day, and that was brown after just three years and not being abused. It definitely wasn't cherry red any more.
