Hello All:


Well...my overheating mystery (mostly uphill) seems to
have taken a new turn...or possibly this morning's
event was unrelated.


The coolant temp had been climbing lately on any
terrain...and very little heat. I pulled off the road
this morning and smelled smoke...saw "rainbow" puddles
in the rain-slick asphalt. Tranny was acting
funny...noticed tranny fluid blowing onto the exhaust
from somewhere underneath. I couldn't locate the exact
leak...had it towed....will be a few days before the
verdict.


Could combustion gasses getting into the coolant
result in a trans or oil seal failure somehow?  Please
let me know your thoughts or similar experiences.
