The clear oil leaking from the Radiator? Are you sure its not leaking from the a/c condenser? That oil is almost clear in color. The other oil that flows through the radiator is the transmission fluid, and it's usually a reddish, brown color. Please have this issue checked for early repairs, and may be possible to be a cheap repair. Thank you.

Oil leak top back engine near side

Use paper towel or tissue. If not degraded (too old) it will be pink color For Automatic transmission. Brown to almost clear if recent oil change. Dark brown if Standard transmission. But if it's top, most likely Engine oil. Check for drips on the floor too.

Oil drip with oil smells like gasoline

Could be 2 problems. Some rear main seals leak with oil flowing out where trans joins engine. You should crawl under vehicle and look directly up from oil leak, If inside garage use a newpaper to catch current drip.

Gassy oil can be leaking fuel injector draining into oil pan. Sometimes dirty fuel injector will stay open and fuel pressure will continue to drain into motor after vehicle is off. Sometimes stuff like seafoam will clean injectors.

Transmission oil found in radiator

there is a cooler for the trans fluid that runs threw the f the radiator the cooler splits and trans pressure being higher while running pushes into the coolant how ever as it cools down the coolant pressure can push the coolant into the trans so see if the trans fluid looks like a straw beery milk shake if so try and keep flushing the trans until the fluid is clean and fresh if the trans makes it threw the coolant then you will need to flush the cooling system i use pinesol it breaks down the oil

I'm seeing clear liquid leaking to the ground behind the motor, located about where the radio would be a feet above it. I don't think it was condensation from the AC, as it was still dripping...

get some on you finger and see what it is. Oil will be gold, trans fluid is red, and they will be oily, run water over your finger and see if it rinses off. water from the a/c is just plain water. Open the hood with engine running and see where the leak originates from.

Transmission fluid leaking into radiator and dripping out onto ground

Sounds like you need a new radiator, it is cracked inside causing trans fluid to leak into it, as for dripping may have bad fitting on the rad for the oil cooler lines for the transmission.

Oil fluid leak on left side of car-2000 buick lasabre

If its on the drivers side of the car close to the front check the transmission oil cooler lines. Especially if the fluid is redish in color. You will see them if you look up under the vehicle on the drivers side. There will be to black hoses running between the transmission and the radiator. If they are wet/dripping you found the leak.
