SOURCE: Transmission fluid leak just off Radiator

Those are your transmission cooling lines. Buy them and replace them.

When you install them, take your time...don't be in a rush.

most likely you have a leaking water pump, have the system pressure tested to confirm this.

Overheating

Check the coolant elbows. Check the water pump. Best way to find the leak is to pressure test the system. Go rent a coolant system pressure tester from an auto store.

Cadillac deville pouring transmission fluid

transmission lines to radiator is leaking. The radiator will help cool the transmission fluid in most vehicles, and these lines can get crimped or become loose during normal vehicle maintence. Replace the lines and connectors, and recheck transmission fluid level. MIght just be a loose connection you could possibly tighten up. Busted or cracked radiator?

My front left tire on my 2000 chevy silverado is leaking fluid,

Something on the break system is leaking, maybe a pipe or even the caliper, every time you push pedal you are pushing the fluid out of the system. There are two types of pipes, a flexible and a copper one, check both for leak, take wheel off first. ( Put it on axle stands not on bricks)

What could be leaking under car tranmission

Hello, You really need to look under the Vehicle to see what is leaking. Best if you can put it inside with several newspapers under it. Then if it is a slow leak you will be able to look directly above the drip stain.
You have several things which could leak. There is a water draintube from the Air Conditioning ducts and it is normal and harmless for this tube to drain. Look at the color of what fluid is draining. Red usually means transmission fluid. There are cooling lines running from the Trans to the radiator. They can leak as well as the trans gasket.
If you have a 4wheel drive, the transfer case can also leak. Photos for the undercarriage are few and far between. Try a Web Browser search using your model vehicle and then the terms undercarriage photos. Avoid using diagrams as a term because you will get stick diagrams and no photos.
Some repairs are quite easy, but front seals require separation of the trans from the motor and some tailshaft housings require disassembly of the back of the trans to install rear seals. Depends on whether rear seal is accessible from the end or must be install with the casing removed. Rear seal requires removal of the driveshaft.
Sometimes you can get the photo you need from an individual using a Blog format. Look for Chevy or GMC blog sites, 4x4 sites and so on.

I have a 1998 ford taurus the water drained out the car but not from the radiator where could it have come from

If you are still using the A/C it is coming from the trap in the air ductwork. This is normal and if it did not drain , the water would be leaking inside your car.

Other possibilities include ice or snow which is melting from the undercarriage, windshield washer fluid, and condensation from the exhaust pipes and mufflers. Many automakers have drainholes in the exhaust pipe and muffler to keep the parts from rusting.

I hope my solution is very helpful to you. If you are not sure it is water, check the spot you parked at for Brake fluid, or oil.
