brox.. basically you need to try and figure out where the leak is coming from or general area and then let us know and go from there. It could be something simple or serious. try and clean everything up. if you can post pics that would be very helpful.

I would look closely at the transmission cooler lines into the radiator. Earlier this year, one of my trans. lines, and both my oil cooler lines were leaking at the crimps.

the radiator was recently replaced, so maybe that has something to do with it
