it may be underneath the car bolted to the transmission or somehow attached
to the rad or in that general area. look for a square or rectangular part around
8 to 14 inches square.
Find the leak source and repair it. Usually the cause is cooler hoses.
Is the transmission cooler fins clean and free of debris. Are you towing a heavy load? If so, I recommend you install a aftermarket transmission cooler. If it is getting hot and you are not towing, you need to seek out a professional to find out why it is getting hot. Do not continue to drive this vehicle or you will be spending big bucks for a new transmission. Heat is the biggest enemy of a transmission.
Purchase the cooler of your choice. They come with complete instructions. Very easy job, and this would be a good time to change your transmission fluid.
I have a 1999 Potiac Grand Am SE, and I cannot find the transmission dip stick to check the transmission fluid.
You can find a relay layout for a 1999 Passat 1.8T manual transmission at various auto part stores. You can also check in the owner's manual.
You can find a transmission cooler for a 2000 Ford Windstar at most auto parts stores although they generally will need to order the part and have it shipped to your local store. In general, these coolers cost around 50 to 100 dollars.
The first step is to find out how it is getting in there. Normal cause is a failed transmission cooler. That may be part of the radiator itself. After the cause is repaired, you will have to flush the cooling system until there is no more oil in it.The first step is to find out how it is getting in there.

If it has a 4L60E then you need a new transmission control solenoid inside the transmission. If you have the 4L80E then you need to find and change the transmission control module
There is no one answer. The entire transmission, all trans cooler lines, and the trans cooler all have fluid in them. Anything that contains fluid has the potential to leak anywhere. On a transmission there are a number of moving parts, such as input shafts and output shafts, each with a seal. That is a likely source for a leak, esp given the age of this transmission. Another likely source for a leak is the rubber cooler lines and/or the clamps. But really, the entire transmission body can leak at any seal or gasket. There are literally dozens of opportunities for a transmission to leak. The only way to find it is raise the vehicle and search out the leak.
I have never heard of an oil lid on a 300.
