Hydramatic transmission........has a water/heat exchanger or cooler in the
pan. Your cooler is leaking.....STOP Remove the transmision and repair the
cooler. Drain all transmission oil......30 wt. and refill
Or you can just forget it and sell the Stuart to me.........
To be sure...the water is from the cooling system......antifreeze?????? in
transmission?
Anyway....not good!
