leakage

[dave.b]

the other day i made a thread about takin the radiator out bla bla and someone turned the engine on therefor lost lots of fluids and yesterday i replaced all and woke up today and the bloody thing leaked all the trans fluid, so the question is where is the most likely cause to leak?, my car has never had a leak before so its new and it must be a decent bloody leak coz i filled it full yesterday and over night its leaked all of it, please help

I just noticed that you own a 5.0l, i am not sure if the VN V8 has the builtin transcooler? but if it does this will apply to you.

If its a brand new radiator you will have to tighten up the transmission hose fittings, the 2 ends that are built into the radiator. just use a ring spanner and tighten them up untill the thread around the outside disapears.

Had the exact same problem when i replaced my radiator.
