Fluids

It was cold this morning. We decided to move the car into the garage to put in our $20 radiator. Unfortunately we forgot that the transmission routes fluid through the radiator to cool it and it managed to empty itself out in the 10 feet we traveled putting the nose of the car in the garage.

The new radiator didn't fit perfect, but well enough for $20. We didn't double-check the fittings, however, and it looks like one of the transmission cooler fittings is leaking. We went ahead and flushed the rest of the cooling system and we'll wait for our next session to pull the radiator out and tighten the fittings.
