Default new radiator or tranny cooler?

hey guys last week i was leaking tranny fluid so i took it to the local shop. they said it was leaking from the tranny cooler inside the radiator. so i could a-buy a new radiator or b- route lines directly to external trans cooler and bypass the radiator. to save a lot of money i went with b. now a week later now its leaking from the external tranny cooler, and its a big leak. what should i repalce or do now

Can you see where it's leaking from? Might just be a connection to the new aftermarket cooler. Give them a call, they should fix it for free.

i found the leak to be at the bottom of the cooler. theres a bolt at the bottom of the radiator and it looks like it was being pushed down on top of that bolt. it was being pushed down by the slp stainless steel air dam. that bolt cut through the fins and then to the the copper tubing.
