    2005 transmission problem

    Interesting, transmissions run their fluid through the cooler at a higher pressure than the coolant system so when the interface between the two fails it usually forces out the coolant and not vice versa. Thanks for letting me know that this can happen in an unusual way.

    2007 Ford Expedition a/c inop

    Not sure if you're still huntin your ac leak Tambrin. Here's a few thoughts on how to locate it: 1) You mentioned that you used a UV light, did you put dye in the system? 2) You're lucky you can hear the hissing, most ac leaks are slow with no sound and harder to find usually requiring a freon...
