THANKS

Answer
Hi Brad,

have this fixed immediately.  You don't want to corrode your tranny out!

Must be a leak where the tranny fluid circulates within the radiator.  Only place I know that coolant and tranfluid would get mixed.

Could be just a seal or it could be an internal leak in the rad.

Best of luck,

NB:  how tough is your tranny?  How about $7000 tough.  Not worth testing, is it.
