I HAVE 1998 3.3 DODGE CARAVAN 208,000 MILES.RIGHT TO THE POINT,I HAVE TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE COOLANT IN THE RADIATOR. NOTICED A PUDDLE PINKISH COLOR UNDER RIGHT FRONT SIDE ,COULD'NT FIND LEAK .THAT'S WHEN I CHECKED ALL FLUID LEVELS.AND FOUND THE COOLANT WAS PINK, AND TRANS FLUID WAS LOW .BUT IS STILL RED IN COLOR. COULD THIS MEAN AN INTERNAL LEAK IN THE RADIATOR ?

Hi:
The trans is cooled by pumping fluid through the a section of the radiator. The tank must be cracked allowing ATF to get into the coolant.

If you have other questions, let me know.
