Suddenly, I noticed oil dripping under my car; so unusual. Further checks revealed that the entire oil in the engine and transmission side have all entered the radiator. So disturbed. Please, what can I do?

Hello,

This is what happens when your radiator cooler fails which is inside the traitor. The radiator must be replaced and the cooling system flushed.

Here are a few guides that will help you get the problem fixed.
