One time about 2 yrs ago this one hose to the heater core blew out. I wonder if that's when all the trouble started?
Also I see that one of the transmission fluid cooling hard lines seems to be leaking. This leaking ass bitch drives me nuts
Maybe the heater core is fine? Just a hose could have come loose. That would be ideal.

Rusted out beat down 300d turbo 82' -- RIP
Nice body, tons of ridiculous mechanical issues - 300d turbo 82' /motor 85'

I am going to fix this heater core this year. I just swapped out the radiator because it was leaking. I wonder what can be causing all the fuss in the cooling circuit?

God luck man. Sounds like a corrosion issue-are you using DI water with your coolant?
Swap to manual and you won't have any more transmission cooler leaks
