Help !! transmission fluid in radiator

[TGVET]

Pressure difference in the system..... radiator cap going bad; I haven't replaced my cap since my second water pump a while back (around 80k) so might add that to the shopping list as well now that I'm typing this...

To be clear, I'm only referring to the lower hose on the Heat Exchanger failing.

TVGET, yes I know you were referring to the HE not the lower hose of the radiator. However given it is a closed system, wouldn't the cap maintain pressure "throughout" the system including the HE?

OK Jon, yes that is correct. Just odd that "that hose" be the first failure. . And like I stated, I'd be interested to know the % of failures of all the 3rd Gens made.
