I drained this from the old truck I bought. No known history on the truck or oil.

"Oil samples have been known to get contaminated outside the engine, but if it wasn't then the Potassium and Soidium show trace of Antifreeze in the oil. Normally at this slight level it won't affect wear, but it really depends on where it's getting in. Wear from your Cummins read at above average levels from the lower end. Upper cylinder metals ok. Watch for signs of a problem like coolant loss or white smoke. If this oil was run a very short interval, the problem may be more severe than we think.
TBN 2.9"
It appears to me that the previous owner drove the truck into the ground! Didn't fix anything, probly never changed the oil.
Engine is the original engine although I'm sure it has been rebuilt a few times. Truck runs good. Trace of coolant must be from the liners? Last registered in 1998. I'm sure this oil was atleast 8 yrs old!
IMHO If it leaked that itty bit of coolant in 8 years I'm not going to worry too much about it just yet. No white smoke or coolant loss. Although I don't drive it much untill I get it registered.
When I got the truck it had mud in the cooling system. I drained it and put in some Barr's stop leak, 1/2 gallon of Nalcool, 4 gallons of antifreeze and 6 gallons of distilled water. Maybe this will help to stop the tiny leak?

I have a 1-day permit to move it. I may run it across town this weekend to the truckstop and get it changed again. I missed an oil filter when I changed it........Didn't know that it had 2.
