Radiator Leaking Trans Fluid...help?

[RB_GURL]

Recently my radiator decided its going to leak trans fluid so i replaced it, started her up and its leaking from the exact same place as my old one....... I think its a bit strange that the radiator i got to replace it would do the same thing as my other one so im beginning to think its not the radiator that is causing this to happen. Any ideas??

is it the two hoses in and out of the radiator...maybe tighten the hose clamps??

If you are talking about the radiator, then it won't leak transmission fluid, it will leak radiator coolant. What colour is the fluid? Is is watery or slightly oily?

If it is transmission fluid, it could be from the power steering pump or lines and if your car is an auto it could be from that or the transmission cooler that normaly sits in front of the radiator.

mite be you id hoses, they maybe split or the like. if they are go done 2 autobarn and yea new ones, think its 10mm id hoses not 100% sure on size and length, will need 2 top up on auto trans fluid.

the auto radiator has a chamber to cool the trans fluid with an inlet and outlet.

hopefully you caught it in time and the internal trans cooler hasnt started to leak into the radiator, otherwise you'll have a strawberry milkshake in your trans before you know it, best of luck
