Ouch. sounds internal then. Maybe a head gasket. Has this engine been apart before that you know of?

Still, I'd pressure-test the radiator as a diagnostic step. If you find a leak between the transmission cooler and the radiator it might save you opening the engine up.

It'* definataly not tranny fluid. I guess I'll wait till there is coolant in the oil, then I should be able to read the gaskets to see which one is bad.
