Default Oil and radiator?

Ok, so my radiator's busted.. I took the old one out, and was comparing them, to only realize that on the bottom, where the radiator hose goes... theres two holes for oil.. on the stock radiator, one of those holes is a pipe that you clamp the hose onto, however.. my new radiator lacks the said pipe.. so I was wondering, can I just not run oil through my radiator? because I can just loop it back to each other..


Hopefully this makes sense,

Most automatic cars in general have a transmission fluid cooler built into the radiator. It sounds like you have a radiator for an automatic. Is your car, or was you car ever an automatic? Were do these lines go right now?

yes it does. If you dont want to swap radiators, at least get a separate oil cooler from a local parts store for the tranny. Honda auto trannies need to be cooled.
