I should have said a little smoke is ok, It's not if it's blue and alot. I think your going to be ok

I just had this happen and it was engine oil my 98 XC has both engine and tranny coolers in the radiator, ck my post "oil in my coolant" I'm going to install a oil cooler in front of ac condenser and plug the ports in the radiator. Do a flush after. Sounds like yours is tranny fluid try a ...

UPDATE: Edward your the winner, my car has oil cooler in the left side of the radiator and a tranny cooler on the right! I still plan on pluging the feeds at the tank and running a cooler out infront of the ac condenser or down low. I'm just happy that my problem is not a head gasket. (knock on wood)

Thanx for the info, I didn't know that they also ran the engine oil through a loop in the radiator. Strange enough to have a marine type oil cooler. I'm old school and have had a few volvos over the years, 240s, a 780 bertone, and a much missed 67 P1800. When these XCs came out I told myself I'd hav...
