I see a trip to autozone coming his way. Double check ALL coolant hoses for leaks or cracks.It'll be hard by the tranny but you need to make sure it is no that main one in that area.I think it is the one that runs to the driver side of your engine tho.Especially if your getting coolant like that.

Well the "T" housing directly underneath the oil cooler has 2 coolant lines comming into it, one from the cooler, and one from the heater core. Right below the "T" runs the steel oil cooler line, where it appears to be leaking. I think it just runs down to the line from the "T", from my vantage point I can't see which hose it is, but i'll get them both replaced. If it was my aluminum "T" housing all together, where could i find one of those? Just in case. THX AGAIN GUYZ

Thats a tough question.Why not just use a Brass T on it?I converted over from the water cooled oil cooler to the air cooled cooler so I wouldn't be able to tell you exactly.

It was the heater hose that runs from the heater core to the "T" housing all along. It just split on the bottom from the old oil on it. So a new one is on the way from cali. Thx for the help guys!
