Default Re: Fitting replacement radiator with broken transmission lines

1. Transmission fluid is red
2. Those transmission lines at the front of the car where they go around the radiator and then up to the attachment banjo fittings are definitely bent.

You should detach the plastic splash shield under the engine. There are two 8mm screws holding it to the frame at it's rear. If necessary jack one side of the car up at a time get your arm under there and detach the plastic shield. It may help you determine the source of the leaking fluid.
Seems strange something would start leaking now. Was the plastic shield attached to the front of the car and then you recently detached it in the front? It will hold fluid. Could it be that when you detached it at the front fluid ran off of it on to the floor?
