Can the two pipes of the transmission radiator drain oil?
2 Answers
The two pipes of the transmission radiator cannot drain oil; they are used for heat dissipation and cooling. Disadvantages of the transmission: During acceleration, the transmission does not skip gears. The harder you press the accelerator, the more the transmission gears spin and slip. Sometimes, it may experience difficulty in downshifting or upshifting. The shift piston wears out due to excessive impurities in the transmission fluid, preventing the transmission fluid from releasing pressure and making gear shifts impossible. Therefore, it is essential to change the transmission fluid regularly. Gear shifts may also be jerky and impact-heavy. Advantages of the transmission: Although the transmission has been subject to various complaints from car owners, its durability is still acceptable. Common transmission issues, apart from design and technical imperfections, are largely caused by poor driving habits or prolonged driving under harsh road conditions. Therefore, it is reasonable to address transmission problems by maintaining good driving habits and performing regular maintenance and repairs.
I remember encountering a situation where the transmission cooler lines were leaking oil before, let me think about it: those two lines aren't actually designed to drain oil. Their normal function is to circulate transmission fluid between the cooler and the transmission to assist with cooling. If they start leaking oil, it definitely indicates a problem—such as loose fittings, aged/cracked hoses, or damaged clamps. In this scenario, fluid will gradually seep out, not only wasting precious transmission fluid but potentially causing transmission overheating damage. I recommend regularly inspecting these lines for tightness and absence of cracks, especially during each transmission fluid change. Prevention is far cheaper than repairs—otherwise, replacing an entire transmission can cost a fortune.
