Needed some input... On my '01 XJ I replaced my radiator w/one f/ FFD about 3 months back. So far so good but an issue may have arisen.
While doing some work under my rig I noticed a drip of coolant on the transmission cooling line... one come off the radiator to my OE transmission cooler. So this weekend while doing some maintenance I think I found where the leak was coming. The worm clamp was a bit loose on the top line coming out of my radiator (see pic)... this pic was taken after I tightened the clamp and wiped all the coolant off. The coolant was seeping out where the hardline is clamped.
After snugging up these clamps I started thinking... should any coolant even be coming f/this line? I assumed this should only have transmission fluid and NOT coolant going through this part of the radiator. Should I be worried? Could there be a leak in the radiator allowing coolant to mix w/transmission fluid? I could use some input here... Thanks.
