fjh Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Does it smell like oil? Could be a trans cooler issue it would be black if it were engine oil fuel is another consideration!

BC Mack Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 trans pressure (I surmise Allison) is much higher than shop air... if that is what you were using for test.. take a coolant sample and get it tested agreed that nat gas engine oil stays light brown but so does trans atf or transynd BC Mack Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52987-orange-foam-in-coolant/#findComment-395675 Share on other sites More sharing options...
