I am getting some kind of fluid other than water/anti-freeze. It appears to be oil. Is it possible for oil from engine to leak into radiator? Is it possible tranny fluid could get into the radiator as well? I have flushed 2 times as well as bak flushing each time also. I can get clear clean water coming out after back flush, but when I fill with Antifreeze after five minutes the coolant seems to get contaminated, with coolant appearing yellowish. Can some gaskets be worn-out?

You are cdealing with GM dexcool will not completly flush out. What works is flusing with Cascade dishwasher. Flush with tihs and yellow scurge will be gone.
