Pink oily fluid out exhaust

[integrator97]

Warmed up my 2000 Trooper this morning, about 30 degrees outside. On the ground at the tailpipe, mixed with the condensation, was a pink oily residue. I've never seen this before.

Checked my oil, black and a 1/2 quart low. I use Mobil 1 Synthetic since about a month and a half. Uses a quart every 300 to 400 miles.

Any ideas?

Pink .... tranny fluid? But how would it come out the exhaust?

What color is your antifreeze?

maybee a defective vaccum modulater check that and look for vaccuum lines on your tranny if any there should be no oil at all in them

have you actually seen this 2eyefishclaw? (probably a silly question since you've probably seen it all with all your time working on things isuzu.)

but. . .if it is busted, how would the trans fluid get into the engine from the coolant? and how do those things get busted in there, just wear out?

EDIT ADD: just thought, wouldn't coolant then get in the trans? now that would be expensive mess!

thanks
