Help! My transmission fluid has changed a milky red 700 1991

Hi All,

I have a 1991 745 Wagon with 162K miles with automatic. Just last week I noticed that the transmission fluid had changed milky red in color. What should I do?

Last fall I made a change of the transmission fluid and the fluid was ruby red in color. I also changed the radiator fluid and changed the radiator cap to a new ‘green’ one. All this winter everything looked OK until this spring I took a long trip in the car and notice that it was leaking radiator fluid around the seals of the thermostat and around several of the radiator hoses. It was at that time I realized the system probably had to much pressure. I changed the radiator cap to a black one.

I came back from a trip last week and realized that the radiator fluid had changed a milky color. The transmission shifts fine. What should I do? Change the transmission fluid? Get a new radiator? Is the transmission cooler probably leaking fluid into the transmission lines? HELP!

Your help is greatly appreciated,

Mike
