Oil in radiator ?

[turbovich]

As title, what's this ?. There's no coolant in auto trans or motor and retorqued plenum. I'm thinking it's a split in auto cooler radiator component. Flushed it several times and has improved. But for how long, I don't know. Any way to test that internal cooling unit?

That does look like trans fluid, the internal cooling unit is just a tube with a line to the top and a line to the bottom of it..
Need a new radiator to fix it..

Agree with above, that looks like a lot more oil percentage that a leaky LIM gasket would cause.

Hmmmm. Ok, thanks for replies. Odd thing is, that now the coolant has evaporated on driveway, the red fluid is now dusty material. Not oil. ?

If it is trans fluid getting into radiator, the coolant is getting into transmission. The later will quickly kill the transmission so I wouldn’t drive it at all until it’s sorted... even if that means trucking it to a place of repair...

Hopefully a new radiator and full coolant will sort out the cooling side and then a full transmission flush and new fluid will sort out any trans issues... hopefully...

If it's not oil maybe some type of stop leak?

All most looks like art, defiantly trans fluid, the core in the radiator is farked, I would flush the transmission and change filter.
