I took my car to the garage because it was leaking transmission fluid. The mechanic thought it was the 2 rubber hose that feeds and return the tranny fluid to and from the radiator. He replaced the 2 hose but the fluid was still leaking out. So he is going to replace the whole raditor tomorrow.

I just did a search on this forum and found out a lot of people actually had tranny fluid leaking problem and it was caused by the "electric O-ring seal" and "valve body".

Can someone help me by explain to me what and where these items are? so we can check them before we replace the radiator?

Thanks!

It should be covered under warrenty and you should be having an MB certified mechanic look at this.....

I withness my C55 leaking transmission oil after 2 months, and almost at the same time my friend's C200K did too. ( we bought the cars aorund the same time ). I suggest you stop that garage do anything to your car, they gonna change everything for you because they did not have a clue what the cause of the problem really is. ( Presumably , your car is W203 right? )
It is just an afternoon job.
