None, though since my last post I've checked the level and it seems a bit 
low - just below the line.  I'm pretty anal about oil levels so I don't 
think it was that low last time I checked it (2 months ago).

I am going to have a local radiator shop take a look and flush the system 
for me.  The guy said he should be able to tell if if the oil is from the 
transmission or the engine.  My fingers are crossed that a new radiator
will 
fix this.  He said it's not usual that tranny oil gets into the radiator 
without coolant getting into the tranny, but he has seen it before.  He'll

also check the cooling system pressure to make sure that's ok.
