    Sounds like the side tank has split which means the end of that radiator. Removal is straightforward and as you've described. Try and put a plastic bag over the end of the trans lines with an elastic band to keep dirt out. Good Luck.

    If possible try and get the new radiator with metal tank as they use them in Taxis, they last a long time.
