Problem overview

Some Lincoln Continental owners report experiencing transmission fluid leaks near the radiator, which can be caused by worn-out seals, gaskets, or damaged transmission lines. These leaks may lead to transmission fluid mixing with coolant, necessitating an immediate check of the transmission fluid level and inspection of the cooling system for additional leaks. Owners also note that coolant pooling beneath the vehicle is a common sign of a radiator leak, highlighting the need to monitor the temperature gauge and coolant levels closely. Driving with a transmission fluid leak, even from the transmission pan, poses significant risks and should be addressed without delay. To repair a leaking transmission cooler line, some owners have found it necessary to replace O-rings, check the radiator cap, and inspect the entire radiator core for issues. Promptly addressing these leaks is crucial for ensuring the Lincoln Continental operates safely and efficiently.
