It might be the start of the transmission oil mixing with the coolant. Do a search on Milkshake in fg falcons. Also is it a 06 bf or FG ? If your suss I would walk, as there are heaps of XR6T's around.

Tezza6 New Member 11 Member For: 14y 10m 9d Posted 28/01/15 12:06 PM Share Posted 28/01/15 12:06 PM Yep guys posting before are correct. It looks like the transmission cooler (mounted on the side of your radiator) has blown allowing the transmission oil to mix with the coolant. Can be a costly repair indeed...

Not to mention new trans cooler, radiator, overflow bottle, flush cooling system etc... I would definitely walk away from it if I was you.
