Most likely cause is a leaking trans cooler (part within radiator).

No static test for this....I'd exchange the radiator pronto before the leak gets worse and allows coolant under pressure (at engine shut off) to push into the trans...........Actually, I think a trans flush would be wise in conjunction.

That makes sense.

I recently done (8 days ago) trans oil change but I made sure I didn't overfill, then all of the sudden this problem started. Is it possible that I may have overfilled it and this caused the issue?

Thanks

I think I may have found the culprit, one the lines going into the radiator has a leak. does the radiator need changing or it is just changing the lines?

Your photo is where the trans cooler lines enter/exit the radiator.....a common external leak point, however I am referencing the cooler that is in the radiator.....what the lines are attaching to.
When it develops a leak it pushes trans fluid into the coolant......so, I still am of the mindset a radiator replacement (and likely cooler lines or line 'O' rings) may be in order.

Thanks for that mate. I am gana have to replace the radiator and cooler lines, flash the system and hope that solves it.

Can I remove the radiator without removing the A/C condenser (dont really want to touch it) front bumper and everything else in front of it? anyone wrote ho to tutorial?

Cant believe GM spare parts want £350 for the radiator alone!!
