theres a hole in the transmission cooling tank on the radiator, better check the tranny oil and see if theres anti-freeze in it, but you need another radiator and maybe a transmission oil and filter change too.Car help please....trans fluid leak and oil in radiator.....:(?
Oops, you need a new radiator.





The transmission fluid is fed through a pipe inside the radiator to keep the tranny from overheating. If a seam broke, it's going to make a mess of your coolant, tranny fluid, and the ground.





Replace your radiator. There is NO EASY FIX for this.
Man, you've got a real lemon there.


Transm. needs an overhaul, and that can run as much as $3000.00.


Oil in the radiator indicates serious trouble with the engine. Head gasket or any other seal between engine oil and coolant is shot. In any case, an engine rebuild is in order.


Your best bet is to try to get your money back.
