Thank u! However, IF someone was to be being hateful and put something in the overflow tank such as flour ( large white globs of goo is coming out) was NOT like that just the day b4, and the car was ran that way, how does that effect the motor and trans? Wat do I do to fix that?!
I can tell you it happenened to me. It is the tranny line that goes through the radiator., it is mixing anti freeze with tranny fluid, it will overheat and goo up the tranny and over heat badly. Being an older vehicle you may be able to flush out the tranny and it may still work. You have to change out the radiator, its in the bottom tank, internally. In a newer car, there are paper tranny bands, in an older car they are metal bands and stand a better chance of survival. Ask any tranny guy, your problem is tranny fluid and antifreeze mixing together. The more you drive , the more damage you are doing. The tranny cooling line going through the bottom tank is ur problem
