I have a 1994 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. I went to change the thermostat today and I noticed that there was black coolant coming out of the hose that goes from the thermostat housing. I just have the coolant flushed 2 months ago. Can anyone tell me why this would be? Also are the 1994 trans ams supposed to use the green coolant or dexcool? It was manufactured in 05/1994
