Dave, when you say 'air-to-oil cooler' are you referring to the cooler in the upper half of the AC condenser? I did not see an external cooler in front of the AC condenser.

Thanks,
Tim
Yup, that's what I meant.

As a reference point, there is not a trans cooler in the radiator of this vehicle, the trans cooler lines run into the AC condenser and is in the upper half of the condenser. Thus the puzzling question of how glycol could get into the trans fluid.
I promise you that if it has an external transmission cooler (even if it's the kind that's siamesed with the A/C condenser), that it's plumbed in series with an oil-to-water cooler inside the pax side end tank of the radiator. Have another close look.
