STOP DRIVING IT FIRST!!!!





If you have metal lines running from the transmission to the radiator, you don't have a 5 speed!





An automatic transmission will have cooling lines, a manual will not.





There is a possibility you have an engine oil cooler running to the radiator.





Whatever the source, you have a busted tank in the radiator and it will need replacement. You must also verify that no coolant has entered either the transmission, or engine. Oil in the radiator is a cheap repair. Coolant in the transmission, or engine oil can be a disaster.
