noise cold be anything, could be timing chain noise, lifter noise, etc. first thing you need to figure out is if its from the bottom or top end

where exactly is it leaking? ATF will leak by the rad oil cooler lines, but coolant around that area is probably the rad itself leaking or one of the rad hoses. ATF and coolant get their own chambers in the radiator area, so coolant shouldnt be coming near the oil cooler lines

The shop said its a metal hose that leads from the rad to the oil cooler he said its rotted out. Its def coolant I can smell sometimes.
