Doesn't sound good. Check your oil and see if it looks like the same color of a milkshake. From what you wrote it seems like the oil and coolant are mixing. At best it is a blown head gasket at worst it is a cracked block/warped head. None of those are cheap repairs.

There is a flange on the backside of the engine (mine was leaking), but I didn't think that would cause your coolant to start turning black. Generally that indicates oil and coolant mixing somewhere (which should not occur at the flange). Hope it resolves your issue for you. $200 is a lot better than $2000!
