Re: trans fluid in the radiator??



" From: Joe <jgray_55@xxxxxxxxx>

" Core was rotted bad...so i took

" warming it all up and cooling it down...it "appears"
" to have a layer of red tranny fluid floating on top of
" the coolant in the top tank! I Assume the in tank
" tranny cooler blew out...BUT I DID NOT have the heart
" to see if the tranny fluid was milky!!I had added two
" bottles of CarQuest anti rust to the coolant (looks
" white). The tranny was rebuilt a few years ago...works
" really super (at-least it "DID"). My luck keeps getting
" WORSE lately. Any suggestions "IF" i see milky tranny
" fluid? 

i think if you attend to it promptly you'll get away with just a fluid
change.  a tranny flush would be good, if you can find a place that
isn't a bunch of hammerheads.

it's entirely possible that tranny pressure is higher than coolant
pressure at that point, and the leak was one way.
