Tranny heat exchanger leaking coolant!
Well guys,

I was feeling pretty good... I just got done replacing my radiator, all hoses, water pump, thermostat. Put everything together, started the engine, checked for leaks...and guess what...the tranny heat exchanger is dripping coolant! drip...drip..drip..drip

Anyone replaced this unit? Is it typical for this part to leak with only 100K on the vehicle?

Anyone have any pointers? It seems like there are two quick-connects that need to be pulled out...and it should come right off. Seems like an easy job.
