Do i need a new radiator?
 
My a/t oil cooling fitment lines going to my radiator are leaking and it appears to be coolant!? Is this fixable by just replacing the hose and fitments, or do I need a new radiator?

Im confused on a couple of things.

1-why are you working on your car at 4am?
2- why am i still awake responding to this at 4am?
3-why is there oil lines going to your radiator?

lolol I work overnights and think about this stuff all night

I think their cooling lines for my automatic transmission. Here's a pic to show you. Are those things replaceable or do i need a radiator?

Coolant is not red. ATF fluid is red. You need to figure out exactly what color it is. If it is the color of your coolant then you need to replace it immediately. You don't want coolant getting inside the transmission. The radiator is designed to cool the ATF fluid. The fluid runs into a separate compartment of the radiator that does not contact coolant.

Change the rad

Change the lines first then rad if problem persists. But if it is coolant than it's not those lines leaking. They only run next to the cooling rows not inside the radiator but on the bottom end tank
