'06 transmission cooler question

[TRAMPLINEMAN]

I have tyranny fluid leaking from behind the cooler mounted on the driver side if the engine block. It's not leaking from any of the lines running in/out of the cooler. Question is, is there a fitting of some sort behind the cooler where this leak could be coming from? Or could the cooler have cracked? I replaced two of the lines on the cooler a few years ago and I did use a backup wrench on the cooler fittings as to not damage the cooler. I also do not have fluids mixing, just leaking from near the back of the cooler. Any ideas?

Thanks. I found one like that earlier, but the cooler I'm talking about would be part number 7, not shown here. A new cooler lists for $700, holy s:*t!!

Are you talking about the water cooled cooler for the torque converter?

Unfortunately, yes.

If it is actually leaking trans fluid then you need a new cooler. Make sure it is not anti-freeze. If it is not mixing ATF and coolant you are lucky, cracked the cooler line to the outside somewhere.

Check with TC diesel, he had a source for something that should work and is a LOT cheaper.

It is leaking transmission fluid, not mixing it. What's weird, non of the lines are leaking. There is not a drop of wetness anywhere near the lines. The leak is coming from behind the cooler. I'll call TC in the morning, thanks for the lead.

Let us know what he has. Might help others.

I posted a PN for a recall cooler a long time ago. About half price if you can do a search and find it.
