What color is coolant when there's oil in it? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

My mom's Avalon's coolant is a very very dark red-ish color. I could have sworn that if oil was seeping into the cooling system that the coolant would be a dark brownish color or even black. Well, I flushed all that crap out and my mom drove it for a day and now everything's dark red again. Oil levels are the same so I'm a little confused.
