Do you see coolant on the ground under your car or are you just showing low at the coolant reservoir? You might be burning coolant due to an old head gasket. Or your coolant level problem might be linked to your transmission problem which could be caused by the AT cooler pictured below. Coolant might be mixing with your ATF. Is your coolant dark and dirty?

coolant is leaking from near the housing but i replace them all new..it drips/ as for the trans, is it possible the leak is do to a bad O ring.

Re: (ramonr32)

Which housing are you talking about? The cooler above is installed with two bolts and two rubber o-rings. Any leak can be a bad o-ring or not a clean mating surfaces or just improper install.

Re: (avwg60)

the O ring i was implying was in the trans, can it leak from a bad o ring.

Re: (ramonr32)

There are a few sources for a leak externally on your trans.
The trans cooler o-rings or the cooler itself can spring a leak.
On the trans, the fill tube o-ring can harden allowing ATF to leak past.
Also the Fill tube can become damaged (they will break or crumble over time). The darn o-rings are cheap buna rubber. You'll have to source a Viton from an o-ring distributor if you want piece of mind.
The valve body wiring harness can leak.
The trans pan gasket will also leak. I used to shave down the ferrules on replacement gaskets.

The coolant leak can be an issue, especially with after market crack pipes.
These asian copies have the wrong size o-rings. When you try to put it into the block, the o-ring distorts and will leak. They also don't have a drain plug o-ring.
I suspect the shop used this after market crack pipe (most shops deal with Worldpac). The leak on this pipe will be just behide the main water pump, and at the thermostat housing adapter.
