    If you are finding oil in your coolant, it is almost certainly heat exchanger and that it is gearbox fluid. I would strongly advise against driving the car until it is repaired.

    It is most likely ( 99.9 %) your heat exchanger .. don't drive car until you check it out and fix it
    I assume you mean trans/gearbox oil ?

    I imagine that is the gearbox oil because I feel the gearbox strange

    The heat exchanger is the black cylinder thing. They are kinda pricey and a pain to get to. There is also a decent chance your transmission is damaged, depending on how long it has been driven with this issue. At minimum the gearbox will need to be cleaned as well and so will the coolant system.

    It's under the intake manifold on top of the engine. Some people remove the intake manifold to get to it which is what I did. Some people were able to get to it from the front of the engine.

    You will also want to replace your intake runner gaskets. You can get the heat exchanger anywhere that sells Ferrari parts, part number is 180846. @Ricambi America sells a kit complete with gaskets and boots.

    I’m curious if you’ve drained your gearbox yet to see the state of the fluid. Could be a lot more damage than just the HE. Hopefully for your sake it’s not.

    You need to do several flushes of the gearbox with cheap gearbox oil. Drain the old, put cheap fresh oil in and drive it gently for 10 miles, then drain again. You’ll need to do this 2-3 times.

    On the final drain, you shouldn’t see antifreeze in the gearbox oil.

    Keep us all posted.
