C32 amg slipping again

Hello, I purchased my c32 with 130k miles on it. After the purchase I found bottles of atf fluid in the trunk which I didn’t open the trunk before purchase of the vehicle I hadn’t seen them. I took it to a shop and diagnosed the vehicle why it started to slip and they told me that the radiator was leaking atf fluid and the 722.6 transmission in my car was low on fluid causing irratic shifts and throwing gear ratio impermissible as a code. After putting a new radiator in the car it drove fine for about 1000 miles and slowly developed a slip again. I think it may be leaking trans fluid again but cannot find any signs of fluid anywhere in the engine bay or on the ground by my car. Any help? Thanks

Could be anti freeze leaking into your transmission and contaminated, Valeo radiator on C32 was a low quality part which didn't hold the fluids.
Get an anti freeze test on ATF oil
