C5 radiator fitting size?
Sprung a leak in the radiator yesterday. Went to the parts house and they're asking me if my radiator has the 3/8" inverted fittings or the quick connect fittings. any ideas?? its an 02 automatic coupe..

Didnt think getting a replacement would be this hard. According to vin number im supposed to have a quick connect fitting but I just removed radiator and unscrewed the two trans cooler lines. I assume this means I dont have the quick connect fittings..dealer says i should have the quick connect and should change it out. anyone have a pic of the quick connect fitting just to make sure Im not an idiot and actually have this type

What a nightmare. apparently no radiator trans cooler inlets (3/8) match my hose size(5/8) and I was told by the dealer the 2 trans cooler lines are discontinued and Ill need to have some new hoses made up on my own. after a long day I just decided to have my old radiator rebuilt ($85) since the inlet sizes are correct....now just have to return the new radiator.
