Lately i noticed puddles forming under the car when it was parked so i got under and saw a lovely tranny fluid leak on the radiator. Thinking it'd be an easy fix i pulled the battery, somewhat tightened the connections to the radiator thinking thats where it was probably leaking, put the battery back in and called it good. Got home today and its still doing it. Where do you think my best bet is on the leaking comming from? The radiator is about 5 months old so im pretty sure thats not where the leak is. Any other ideas on what to check/where/how?

Heres some pictures

spray it down at the pressure wash and when you get home, crawl under the car and see where its leaking from. make sure you check the tranny fluid before you drive the stang again for an extended period of time (drive the car for 20mi and then check the tranny fluid level after the fluid is hot).

or, just take it to a shop and have them look at it. most places do free estimates.



check the power steering fluid too. it looks more like a power steering fluid leak to me

alright ill spray it off. It seems like tranny fluid just because of the fact that its the purple/redish color of tranny fluid, BOTH tranny and power steering are full so its not a big leak (been going on about a month now) but still, it just had to start when winters right around the corner.
