Coolant from transmission line
Im running a 74 with a 350 small block auto. The transmission line that goes into the radiator looks like it has coolant coming out of the connection. Im not sure if maybe some coolant coincidentally dripped right onto it or what. I will eventually be getting a new radiator regardless because it does have a small crack on the upper drivers side that leaks when it gets too hot. Im worried that I might have a bigger issue than that. Has anyone else seen this?

I wouldn’t be overly concerned, put a wrench on it to see if connection is loose. Or it could be a small crack in the line or on the mating surface of pipe to radiator connection.
Reread your post I see you said coolant and not tranny fluid.
So small leak in rad vs trans line.

Thanks guys, Im going to do some more snooping around and maybe Il stumble across something. Worst comes to worst Il drop the pan and verify there's no coolant in it. Just didnt like seeing green fluid where I should be seeing red if anything.
