The od problem you mention is probably caused by water in the fluid. The od hydraulic circuit just barely works with pure low viscosity fluid; the water adds viscosity, hence the normal operation with hot fluid. The cooler has a pinhole in it, which is not unheard of with a "new" radiator. Transmission oil would bleed into the radiator during operation and the opposite would happen after shutdown. After changing the radiator, change and flush the transmission fluid at least twice over a 2-week period and you may be able to save the transmission-they don't like water.
