[QUOTE="Matt Loflin, post: 994085, member: 68161"] I have a 2007 V8 with about 80k on it and i noticed some red fluid under it the other day - maybe a tablespoon worth. I started to dive in and noticed that BOTH the lines going into the radiator had drops of red fluid. [b][Broken External Image][/b]: I researched some and some people say just to replace the lines, some say its the radiator, others remove the lines and some how just use hose to bridge the gap. I wanted to take off the connector that was holding the pipe into the radiator and it seems that when i start to loosen it, anti-freeze starts coming out. It appears that the transmission line feeds into the inner cooler with transmission fluid and the outer radiator is for anti-freeze. Good thing though is that the antifreeze was green and didn't seem to have mixed with my transmission fluid. Also - I just looked and the transmission is labeled as 'X' which I found means '6R60' so I would need Motorcraft MERCON SP ATF (Ford: XT-6-QSP / MERCON SP) My two questions: How do I best top off my fluid in the transmission while I figure out how to fix this? How do i fix this? [/QUOTE]
