just installed new radiator on chevy express 3500 . Radiator has oil & transmission cooling lines (van has A/C). Bottom transmission cooling line is dripping when engine is running. checked to see if line was clipped and seated properly. It seemed to be but un-clipped , removed line, cleaned and checked for foreign matter, and reinstalled line still dripping. ANY TIPS???

there are small o-rings that go in the radiator around the pipes and one may be missing or torn. it may have been left in the other rad when it was changed. It's easy to do. Also the clip may not be fullly seated either..
