I just did a major replacement of the cooling system components - hoses, water pump, HCV, etc.
I put in the Prestone extended life coolant and all was well for about three weeks. I noticed a few days ago a wet spot on the driveway...it was coolant coming from the transmission cooler connections as they protrude from the plastic radiator tank. Apparently, there is a gasket or O-ring that doesn't like the new type of coolant and the seal is leaking very slightly.
Can these be repaired easily or do I need a new radiator?
