In correlation to troubleshooting the ATF leakage coming from the upper passenger side of the radiator, I've been looking on 928 International for the hose that connects from the radiator just below the upper coolant hose, hooking up to the transmission cooler in front of the radiator. Anyways, I noticed that Intl. has the radiator W/ transmission cooler for 90-95 928s only and I have a radiator with a trans. cooler too. It even shows it on PET for my 87 too...am I just confused here?

Sorry another add-on:
I see 2 types of radiators for the 87 S4:
1) Radiator with oil cooler
2) 2 cooler radiator
What's the difference? I know that mine cools ATF but they also cool oil? Wouldn't that be a 3-cooler radiator???? Again if it sounds nuts, it's Monday and I'm stressing about the 4" puddle of ATF underneath my car front passenger side after I started it this morning.![banghead](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/banghead.gif)

Andy,
If you have 2 lines going into the driver's side of the radiator, you have an oil cooler as well. Try tightening the nuts on the trans cooler lines at the radiator and see if that helps, they have a way of loosening up at times. If not, you may have a leak at the crimped fittings on the hoses, in which case, new hose time. Good luck, oh and drive that shark a lot more often!! They like being driven and a lot fewer things go wrong with 'em when you do!

Thanks Bill, today I didn't drive the car, but I started it and let it run for a good 10 minutes only to notice that leak, I also ran it at various RPMs to get the oil to lubricate the heads. Wednesday I'll have my mom take it to work since its safer at her workplace
Then, thursday its all mine for the day off
