Just noticed my coolant appears to be a bit cloudy, looks like Strawberry milk, assuming this is oil of some kind getting into it.

Its a Freelander 1 facelift 2006 TD4 Auto.......I haven't had it very long, so going through the motions with it.

No sign of overheating or any smoke coming out of exhaust and nothing on the engine dipstick....other than the black stuff.

Is this most likely to be the Oil Cooler or Transmission Fluid cooler ( or is there anything else in the coolant system that contains oil, that is likely to leak) ?

It's most likely that the engine oil cooler is leaking, which is quite common, which mine suffered too.
The auto trany cooler isn't immune from failure either.
 
I may replace them both , will probably have to disconnect or move the tranny cooler to change a solenoid which is on my list of to do's anyway.
