Transmission lines are leaking

[blonde dynomite]

Hello a new radaitor was installed in our 1997 ford aerostar. the body shop attempted to push out a headlight and when they pushed on the headlight area the bottom coolant hose came off and now the transmission fluid is flowing out of the top of transmission fitting. we have tried to fix the fitting,everything is snug and tight. We need to know if the radiator has been damaged inside that would make it leak

The radiator is in the middle, so how does a headlight come into contact with a headlight? Why would a hose slip off so easily? Was it involved in an accident (it was in a body shop)? I think that you should start from the beginning.

You said that it was a new radiator. Maybe it's a defective radiator? You shouldn't have to rethread any fittings. Where was it purchased from? Some places like WWW.AutoCoolRadiators.Com or WWW.AutoBarn.Com offer a lifetime warranty with free shipping.
