Component | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | While doing a liquids check i noticed the coolant reservoir was low. I added distilled water to the radiator and looked underneath to look for a leak. I found coolant leaking from the transmission line at the bottom of the radiator. As i backed into my garage, i heard the coolant reservoir pressurize and start to overflow. The reservoir was filled with tranny fluid. I drained the transmission and found coolant in the transmission. I don't know how many miles i drove the vehicle in this condition but i'm afraid the transmission is damaged and i can't get the coolant completely out of the transmission. I've drained and filled it twice so far and still have signs of coolant. I talked to a local dealer and they recommended that i keep draining and flushing until the tranny fluid comes out the same color as it went in. |
