Iv'e been having a small leak from the tranny oil cooler at the front of the truck ('06 V6 xlt). The leak appears on both fittings coming out of the oil cooler attached to the bottom of the radiator. I think it's coming from where the fluid line goes into the fitting, and not from where the fitting goes into the cooler.
a picture of the fitting is in this thread = http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=297353&highlight=oil+cooler+leak
I brought the car to Ford, only for them to tell me I neede a radiator replacement for about $1000.00. They said the fittings are the problem and the only way to replace them is with a new radiator. Apparently they don't sell the fittings seperately.
This is a stupid problem to replace the whole radiator. Has anyone experienced this problem before?
I found some threads regarding the issue, but can't solve this. The leak is very slow, but its starting to stain by driveway
