the trans fluid on a auto trans goes through a tube in the radiator to cool the fluid if the tube has holes in it, it will leak trans fluid in to radiator. you need to replace radiator or have rebuilt.or you could put on a aux trans cooler and put plugs where the trans lines used to go.
It is the transmission cooler hose or line. It runs the fluid through a cooler on the radiator to cool the transmission fluid.
Radiator fluid - either pre-mixed or a solution made from concentrate. Don't use water. Don't dispose of used radiator fluid improperly. It is a poison and will kill animals.
In a radiator, the fluids get really hot, when things get hot they expand and then they have to go somewhere, the fluid goes into an overflow.
