SOURCE: replace transmission due to coolant leaking into transmission

Get second opinion if you don't trust them 100%. It can occur, through rad which cools both, but for future I would ask about bypassing rad & adding an external cooler large enough to cool transmission properly, then no more problems with mixing again later.
Yes both should be flushed, transmission filter changed & re-filled if this has actually been confirmed. Luckily/hopefully no transmission damage has occurred, and was caught in time.

SOURCE: Transmission issues after transmission flush

Well first off, coolant in the transmission will cause transmission failure if left in long enough. Proving why the radiator failed will be another story.

SOURCE: '97 Ford Escort leaking auto transmission fluid.

The front seal could be replaced, and not have a problem. If you have a shop other than a transmission shop do the repairs, make sure the torque converter hub is inspected to make certain its not scratched/scorn. If the trans shifts properly and the fluid is not burned or smells burned, this would be an easy repair. If the trans fluid smells burned, and hasn't been serviced regularly, the rebuild would be the way to go. Also, ask what the warranty for any and all repair are on your vehicle. Normal warranty is 1yr, 12.000 miles in the automotive business.

My Toyota HiAce Panel Van , 2.5 diesel, auto, had some problems last month. The cooler in the radiator broke and sent coolant into the transmission, mechanic said we caught it early according.

I would get the transmission checked by a transmission specialist. I would say that there was still water in it. The other thing I would do is to put an external transmission cooler on the car. The Ford I have was notorious for water getting into the transmission if the radiator failed. Nearly everyone now has an external cooler. Ford fixed this on the next model.

E270 CDI Auto. Gearbox oil contaminated with engine coolant. ( 140,000 miles ) What would be the cheapest remedy ?

You could have 2 issues,Either the radiator has cracked therefore letting transmission fluid into the coolant or the head/head gasket is bad.If the car overheats,blows white smoke from the exhuast id say look at the head,if not it may be the radiator,let me kmow.

Oil and water mixing 2004 m benz c200engine oil in

unlikely to be engine oil, more likely transmission oil from faulty transmission oil cooler in radiator tank
take it in for a proper diagnosis and quote
the coolant system will have to be properly and completely flushed

I had an oil leak near auto gear box of 2009 holden cruze...now oil has leaked into coolant...should i get rid of car or can it be fixed without it costing too much..?

the cost will be a replacement radiator and an engine coolant flush out both which can be done at an accredited radiator shop
if the oil in the auto transmission is pink ( should be cherry red or clear tan depending of oil used) then there will be a transmission fluid flush as well required
both operations will be considerably less that another car
the problem is that the oil cooler in the radiator tank has split allowing transmission oil under pressure to contaminate the coolant
with any sort of luck the split will seal off when the engine is stopped thereby stopping coolant from getting back into the transmission

Oil in rediator of a nissan Maxima1992 VG30E 6 cylinder engin.

the oil you see is transmission fluid.
You also have a transmission cooler in the radiator, and it must have cracked.
Need to replace the radiator.
If were actual engine oil in there, it would look like a vanilla milkshake rather than coolant/water & motor oil.
Plus the car wouldn't run.

Replace radiator and have the transmission fully flushed at a shop.
Cost of the flush should be a little over $100.

Transmission oil and radiator coolant is creamy

probably have a leaking transmission cooler in the radiator assembly, this would explain why the two fluids are mixing, replace radiator and flush cooling system, and then have transmission flushed and serviced to remove contaminated coolant from transmission

Transmission fluid level need regular top up and there is no external leak.Fluid color looks white.

If no external leak and the transmission fluid colour looks white, the problem belongs to the automatic gearbox oil cooler. The oil cooler has broke mixing the gearbox oil and coolant causing this milkshake. It's a small radiator core type oil / water heat exchanger. It is cracked inside and transmission oil is mixed with engine coolant. Because the transmission oil pressure is greater than engine coolant pressure, the transmission fluid level drops. See also the coolant colour inside recovery coolant reservoir inder bonnet! It could be like this:

Oil leaking into coolant -- not head gasket

That vehicle has the transmission cooler built into the radiator. You may not be leaking oil into the coolant, but transmission fluid, they both make the same mess. Replacing the radiator will probably fix your problem. Let me know if this helped.

I have oil in radiator ,transmission slips

Does the oil in the radiator look reddish? likely it does...You most likely have a failure inside the radiator where the trans cooler coil runs through it. Replace radiator and have trans fluid changed and flushed. If slipping continues trans will need a rebuild. (hope not)
