New radiator?
My car has been leaving a small transmission fluid puddle after being parked. I climbed under and found the source. I figured this bolt was loose (it was not very tight) so I tightened it and took it for a drive.
Came back and fluid seems to be seeping right from where the red arrow is, not the nut. That white stuff was there already I did not put that there. Is that an old repair that is now going bad? Is there a way to replace that tranny line connector or do I need a whole new radiator?
Thoughts?

Take it completely apart, put teflon tape on the threads, put it all back together.
Leak fixed - Have a beer.
Still leaks - Possible rad. replacement.
JB Weld might help you out too.
