Hi, its not oil my car is leaking its gearbox fuild :evil:
my car is 4th gen 2.0 auto and appears to be leaking from where a metal pipe joins onto a rubber 1 just under the radiator. Was just wondering if anyone has had this prob before? and any idea on fixing it?

Many thanks.

I'd suggest that you check whether it's the rubber section or the metal one. The Autobox fluid runs through a section within the radiator - it could be time for a new rad.
