Default Transmission fluid leak - replace radiator?

Hi Gang,

I have transmission fluid under my car on the right/passenger side near the front by the radiator. The cooling lines are dry and there is nothing coming from where they connect to the radiator and maybe running along the bottom to the other side. The only thing I can think of in that area is the radiator itself, but there is no way to actually see the leak.

1) Can anyone think of another source for the leak?
2) I've seen where a couple of people have replaced the radiator. How big a job is it in terms of time?

2004 XJR

Thanks!

Trans lines run on the drivers side of the car to the radiator.

Are you sure it's not dex coolant? Regardless, changing the radiator on the XJR is probably a PITA.
