My car demanded a Christmas present!

She's getting a new radiator and some hoses. Why, may ask?
Because our 91 9000S had the coolant/ATF mix happen over the weekend. I went to switch out the tires (as pointed out in a previous post ...) and noticed that the inside of the passenger tire was all oily. Turned out to be ATF, streaming from the top of the coolant reservoir! The reservoir looked like some kind of misplaced Jell-O concoction (red on top, green on the bottom).
And, this is the car with the BRAND NEW ERIKSSON transmission (only about 2,000 miles so far)! There does not appear to be any coolant in the transmission (at least, it didn't look that way on the dipstick). So, when the parts come, I'll clean it up and see where it goes.
I can only hope and pray that the transmission isn't fried, but it was shifting just fine the day that I discovered the problem.
I think I'm pretty clear on what to do (thanks to Joe98's recent experience), replacement parts + lots of flushing ..., but thought that I would share ...
