Default Re: Fitting replacement radiator with broken transmission lines

Hi Zip hope your well,

I've got the transmission fluid here, and the radiator a/c condensor was going to do as discussed next, and fitted the radiator a few days ago, unfortunately whatever angle I tried on the banjo fitting I couldn't get it to fit so that the radiator sits in the correct place, what I had to do was remove the bracket connecting the 2 banjo fittings together, it allowed me to bring the radiator forward a bit more and is just sat 1cm backwards from the proper tabs at the bottom, not ideal but for the moment I guess it'll have to do, it must be bent from the crash.

Anyway so I was going to do the transmission fluid, and I noticed a leak under the car, it's just appeared within the last few days, As you can see from the tissue it looks like oil, but with maybe some water mixed in as it was a substantial amount, unfortunately it happened when I was away so couldn't really tell where it's coming from. Would those 2 transmission lines have anything to do with it do you think? I had to manipulate the lines a fair amount to fit, maybe I broke the lines somehow, but if that was the case it would be light red fluid wouldn't it?
