Well it happned to me. I went to install a block heater on my truck and when I drained the coolant it came out jet black. I was praying it was only a little oil in the coolant but was way wrong. It puzzled me at first cause the coolant in the tank was still green, and the rad was black. I changed the oil 500 mi ago and the oil was still amber color and not milky or black. Anywho I started ripping the oil cooler apart and the cooler looked ok (my motor has 5k mi. on it since rebuild) but im not taking a chance and replacing everything. The O-ring's were harder then woodpecker lips so that seems that could be a issue. The gaskets on the block looked ok.

I got another member to lookup the part #'s from cummins (thanks JakeLC15)and see if there still good #'s and see if he could get me a discount. All the #'s in the TM checked out (thanks WillWagner) and parts are on the way.
