Are you sure its not trans fluid? I think these have the trans cooler integrated with rad?
If it is engine oil its probably hg, and hopefully not cracked head. Any recent overheating?

unless the car's trans cooler has been bypassed, it does have a cooler.
agreed, the black would be engine oil. if it's not been overheated, a head gasket change should fix you up. call phil at the number up top, and get a quote on a head gasket, and plan to have the head inspected for cracks... ya might as well have the valves done along with the guides while it's out. worst case would mean you have to change the head. #22 is the newest, but it requires different injectors and lines... money money money...
