Okay, I see my mistake.  I thought the trans cooler on the radiator was an
aftermarket transmission cooler.  An obviously amateur mistake!  I guess I
have alot to learn about automatic transmissions.  Anyway, I'll trace the leak
and hopefully learn alot about how my trans plumbing works in the process.

On another note, my stock cruise-control still works perfectly, but it only
works at ~55 mph.  No matter what speed I am running (typically faster), it
will decelerate and catch at ~55mph.   From my experience with other CC's, I
assume that this is not working correctly.  Any thoughts?

Thanks for all the advice.

Tony
