What is it cause there is a hole in it now.

What is the large thing that looks like the radiator but it's a little smaller and sits right in front of it. It also has coolant running through it cause now it has a hole in it from a rock,

Are you talking about the tranny cooler? No coolant runs thru the tranny cooler...only tranny fluid runs thru it,

Well there are three radiator lookin things up there. There is a small one. Then another larger one behind that and then the Radiator. So i need to know what the one in between the little one and the Radiator is. The fluid that came out of it was definately green, but I could be mistaken because it was more of a violent spray that ceased after a while. But it hasn't leaked since I just pinched the ends that were leaking with some pliers and then all of a sudden yesterday when I parked the car it was leaking again.

the one you are referring to is your air conditioning condensor

That explains why that doesn't work, s*** how much is it going to replace that, and is it something I can do my self. I just put in a new radiator and that seemed easy enough

Find that used from a yard, and buy a new drier. The drier absorbs moisture, so if it is exposed for even a short time, it should be replaced. The newer freon isn't very expensive. Buy the drier, change that AC radiator(condensor), and go to an AC shop to recharge the system/change drier. Good luck,

OK now bear in mind to do this repair you will have to drain your cooling system completely and remove the radiator. Very easy, just takes a few more minutes of time.

You can pretty much do everything yourself except the recharge. BEFORE you have a shop charge it up, however, have them pull a vacuum test on it to see if it holds vacuum! You will be able to see if there are any other leaks. When I pulled my vacuum to 30 hg/in (whatever units) it took it 20 minutes to come down to 29... and then it just stayed there.

(took and passed the ASE heating/ac test)

I've got a 1994 XL which I've replaced the hose assembly and the evaporator core on the a/c system, and I have icey a/c when I can spare the extra gas

Thank you for all of your help!

I just took mine out last night. I thought I would be slick and try to slide it out without taking the radiator out. I got it out-after much anger and swearing. Next time I will definately take out the rad first.
