Best Answer

The transmission oil cooler built into the radiator has gone bad. There is a good chance engine coolant is also getting into the transmission. This is a serious problem. Do not drive the car any further. Have it towed to a garage to replace the radiator and flush both the cooling system and the transmission. Good luck.

I have transmission fluid in my radiator and going into the antifreeze reservoir but theres nothing leaking on the ground.?

Your transmission cooler tank (its inside of your radiator) has gotting a leak in it. Your tranny fluid & antifreeze are being mixed with each other. You need to have your radiator fix & a complete flush of both the tranny and radiator. If your transmission has not slipped any you will be ok as long as you don't wait about having it fixed. The longer you wait about having it fix the more damage it can do to your tranny. Your hub that holds your tranny clutches (the band) has a glued sand paper like material on it that the water will harm if trere to long.

Can antifreeze leak from the transmission on 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport?

From the transmission? No? But antifreeze & transmission fluid can mix. Your transmission uses a small portion of the radiator as a transmission cooler, normally at the very bottom or side. In very rare instances, this cooler can develop a leak and allow transmission fluid and antifreeze to mix together. The only fix is to replace the radiator.

Why the transmission oil mixed with the water of the radiator?

The transmission oil cooler is located inside the radiator. If the transmission oil cooler developes a leak the oil will mix with the engine coolant. Check the transmission fluid. If it looks like a strawberry milk shake the transmission is in trouble. The longer you drive it the more it will cost to fix. Have it towed to a transmission shop asap.


How do you fix a 1998 GMC Sierra with a coolant leak you can't find if there also seems to be a reddish color in the reservior and you already checked the top hoses?

This would only make sense if you have an automatic transmission. What is probably going on is this; Your coolant flows through the radiator to cool down the motor. Your transmission fluid does the same. My guess is that you have a leak inside of your radiator, and the coolant and transmission fluid are mixing. This is a serious problem as your transmission is not cooling properly, and probably being damaged everytime that you drive the vehicle. I would suggest a new radiator.
