If you elevate the front of the vehicle, you won't get much leakage out of the transmission lines. If they are original, this would be a good time to replace the flexible transmission lines. It is best to unbolt the oil cooler from the radiator and leave it in place. If you decide to remove the oil cooler lines, be very careful not to damage the fittings. You have steel fittings on the lines, aluminum on the cooler. Application of some penetrating oil today will be a good idea. You might want to think about replacing the oil cooler lines if they are original, also. You can find a kit to install a metal sleeve in the radiator neck at www.**************.com.

With regard to the radiator neck failure, what type of antifreeze did you use, and how often was it changed?
