Re: Strange fluid leak..Radiator pan (Deacon50)
Your transmission, whether it be automatic or manual for your year has tranny fluid cooler lines going to the radiator.......on the passenger side. You probably have a loose cooler fitting leaking ATF.

Re: Strange fluid leak..Radiator pan (Romeo Barrera)
Romeo....Thanks for the reply, after reading posts all day long to try and find some one that had a similar leak.(with no luck)..your answer is appreciated..I cant find any info on atf cooler lines to the radiator...I guess I have to find the line, then determine if i need to get underneath it or start taking apart the radiator cowling....Thanks :cheers:
