    Hey there everyone. I had an unfortunate accident this morning. I was jacking the front end up of my 97 GTP to bleed the air out of my cooling system. I was using the front cross brace, and the car slipped off the jack. The jack ended up catching the transmission cooling lines, and it began dripping transmission fluid from the center of the car.

    I jacked it up again and placed jack stands in the front. Once I got under it, it really wasn't leaking much from there. I took the rubber hoses loose from the metal lines, and checked for holes or cuts. I didn't find anything, so I re-connected them and started the car. I rolled back underneath to look for leaks, and transmission fluid was now pouring from the passenger side right under the radiator.

    Do I need to remove the radiator completely to check these connections? Any help would me much appreciated.

    Thank you,
    Sly

    You shouldn't have to pull the radiator, but it is going to be a pain to see if there's a crack or issue with the lines and fitting right at the radiator.
