VerifiedCheck the transmission fluid for signs of coolant contamination. Coolant can intermix with the trans fluid in the radiator if the trans fluid cooler is damaged. Look for stains under the water pump gaskets on the block. The most common places for coolant leaks are the water pump and water pump gaskets.
