![]() It will also take two and a half hours on average to replace it, which is another $250. A new radiator will run you anywhere between $150 and $400 depending on your car. The only solution here is to replace the radiator since the oil cooler is integrated into it and cannot be removed. That can quickly destroy the transmission if you don’t keep adding fluid, and even then, the chances of transmission damage are pretty high. ![]() This is particularly bad because it means the transmission is losing oil, and the pressure is dropping. If you notice any of those hues, chances are high that your oil cooler is leaking. Over time, it can turn dark red, dark brown, and ultimately black. Mention that transmission oil is red when it’s fresh. Or the radiator if your car doesn’t have an expansion tank. When that happens, the transmission oil will directly go into the coolant, circulate around the engine and settle in the coolant reservoir. But the oil cooler is prone to leaking in some cars, and the higher the mileage is, the higher the chances are of leaking. That’s why it’s also called a heat exchanger. In most factory setups, the oil cooler sits inside the radiator and is both cooled and heated by engine coolant. The transmission oil cooler is something only automatic cars have. Of the three, a blown head gasket is the least likely, but let’s see how this problem happens and how to fix it. Oil in a coolant reservoir can be caused by one of three things: a leaking transmission cooler, a leaking engine oil cooler, or a blown head gasket. But on a positive note, diagnosing oil in a coolant reservoir is fairly simple, but more on that later. That’s not to say fixing it will be all that expensive, but it can cause more damage down the line. Radiator_cap.Finding oil in your coolant, or coolant in your oil for that matter, is almost always an indicator of a serious problem.
