1999 S80 2.9 Radiator Transmission leak hoses

Post by majorcode »

Hi,

It was mystery for me to find the leak but I caught finally, Though year back these two Transmission hoses looked rusted and leak a bit ... I found oil and after few weeks I see green water.

I sealed them with permatex high temp red rtv silicone, Now today I check that lower hose is leaking very slowly ...it is real slow but makes me worry and at the same time I wonder do put more permatex high temp red rtv silicone or take some serious action.

How to fix it??? do not wish to change radiator as I always use Volvo coolant and I am sure Radiator it self in a good condition. it has 166000 KM on it

Will appreciate kind replies.
