2002 C32 should I be worried about the radiator

I’ve had my car for 2 weeks now.So I have read about raidator issues With early 2002 C32 cars and that some have raidator issues and tranny lines . I read check the raidator for wet spots at piping inlets/outlets how do I know if I have the bad raidator.

If there are no wet spots and both tranny and cooling fluid levels are the same - you are fine. Regularly check both fluids and if you notice the presence of other fluid - take an action

Also check the brand. Is it a Valeo or Behr? I believe it’s the Valeo one that you should be worried about. If it’s a Behr then I think you should be good in that aspect. Check your coolant and your Trans oil just to be safe.

if you’re in SoCal, I have the dipstick for the transmission and could lend it to you or help you check the fluid otherwise the dipstick is fairly inexpensive.
