The head gasket is usually the first to go followed by a cracked head (you have to really overheat the engine to crack a head on one of these. The head usually cracks in between the valves) a cracked head usually won't get coolant in the oil. Since you mentioned it had stop leak in the radiator I'd say they knew the head gasket was going away.

The "TCM" very rarely fails.

These engines are pretty bulletproof if maintained.

Inspect where the "fluid" is from.

Pull the codes and post the actual # i e. PXXXX
