Need some possibles of what’s wrong. I just bought and installed the Z tazer. After install I of course took her for a short drive to try out the mods (feels beyond amazing btw definitely recommend).
I parked and popped the hood to make sure everything was good and boom. Red fluid on hose directly connected to radiator and also on the split from hose connected to coolant reservoir.
Prior to this I had taken her to 3 mechanics and asked them to check trans/fluid because of hesitation/airy feel during acceleration ESPECIALLY when in eco mode. Which was why I bought the Z to bypass eco mode since I manually couldn’t. Only one said they THINK i might have a trans issue but they couldn’t be sure and to just bring it by if it got worse. Other 2 acted like I was crazy.
Anyways now I see this and it was just confirmation I was right. And would definitely appreciate any feedback on possible solutions.

Red fluid might be trans fluid because automatics use a trans fluid cooler(most of the time hidden in the radiator). I would check the temps of the trans fluid using the srt pages unlocked by the tazer. For the most part, might just be a case of swap out the hose, top off on fluid and you should be good. Maybe a trans flush and coolant flush depending on your mileage and when it was last done.
