A point of curiosity while I wait for my laundry to get clean.   ;)

If contamination happens, is it obvious? Fluid changes colour? Smell of fluid?
IIRC, transmission fluid changes colour when it's old and-or "burned".
Would an oil sample analysis be cost ineffective?

For various reasons, I've given thought to owning a Vanagon with an
automatic transmission.
