Hello! We hit a deer, almost fully stopping. It broke the radiator, and the fluid was leaking out. Got to replace it with a new one. Now it's overheating again and leaking transmission fluid. Any tips and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

No problem we can help, can you see where the transmission fluid is leaking from? It sounds like it must be the cooler lines? We need more information to help you. Here are what the transmission fluid cooler lines look like so you can check it out. I would use a flashlight. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
