Leaking Coolant and Tranny Oil!!

Hello,

Well I started my car this morning because I was going to get my exhaust on, and I noticed my car was leaking coolant and transmission oil. The coolant is leaking in two different spots(someone told me about it possibly being the pumps are leaking or something). As for the transmission oil, I think it might be a seal! Anyone have any ideas what it could be???

Thanks

Are your trans cooling lines tightened all the way?

The coolant could be coming from the heater hoses at the connections, near the firewall, to the heater core tubes.

hmm need to be a little more specific as to location of the leaks or if you could take some pictures and post em.. theres a ton of possibilities.. for coolant you could have a cracked hose, hole in the radiator, cracked block, blown head gasket, cracked heater control valve, heater core, heater hoses, water neck, to name only a few.. the tranny could be leaking from the cooler lines, the seal on the front pump, the pan seal, the seal around the filler tube, seal for the TV cable, output shaft seal, crack in converter, case, pretty much anything...
