Radiator leaking (is there a fix?)
I've got a 4 core radiator, the area where the transmission lines screw in, I have coolant leaking out around the nut that screws onto the threads. Is there supposed to be a rubber washer or something on there? there is a metal washer, but how is that supposed to seal it ???

I fixed this one, lol just threw a rubber thick washer on it, stopped the leak, Not sure what the guy before me was thinking using metal as a seal....

No no, it was antifreeze/water, leaking around where the trans cooler line goes, not the actual fitting, or line, but from the tank. I sealed it up, Looks like it'll be fine.
