I've got a 89 190E 2.6 with 115k.

Today I checked and topped off fluids. When I checked my trans. fluid it was low - I topped it.

When I checked my radiator over flow, it was also low - I topped it, BUT when it settled, ATF came to the top! It was thick and didn't seem diluted at all.

HELP! Would this explain the strong smell when I turn the heat on?
