[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1010969, member: 52972"] Yep, I agree with the others. It appears to be coolant mixed with oil, and the pinkish color would indicate that the internal transmission fluid cooler in the radiator is leaking...that's not good. Remove the radiator and have it pressure tested and checked for leaks. If you find that the transmission cooler in the radiator is leaking, you will need replace the radiator, change the transmission filter and then have the transmission fluid flushed. I recommend the flush because just droping the transmission pan only drains out about 50% of the transmission fluid...A flush will typically change out about 98% of the old contaminated fluid. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
