The only thing I can think of here is that water from the radiator has entered your tranmission cooling lines. Normally these lines contain only fluid, which is sent to the lower tank in the radiator, and this lower tank is cooled by air rushing into the radiator. There is not supposed to be any water/fluid mix.
 
So just guessing from this distance, if you have water dripping out of the cooler lines at the transmission, (and presuming this is an automatic trans), then there must be an internal leak in your radiator between the two tanks.

I agree with that and am going to get a new radiator. That is the only way I could see water getting into the transmission. What is the cylinder that is connected to the transmission on the bottom. It is probably about six inches long and 3 inches in diameter. If you split the six inches in half it likes two sections come together and that is where the water is coming out. It is bolted into the transmission on the bottom the with cylinder coming out toward the front of the vehicle. What is this cylinder? Could I just drain the transmission and flush with some fresh and then refill or is there another step that I am missing. I am assuming I would have to replace this cylinder but do not even know what it is. Why would only water come out of it and not transmission fluid? Thanks for your help

I haven't a clue. I looked in my books and it doesn't say anything about it.

Is it possible to get a picture and post it to your carspace account and link it here or post to photobucket and link here?

Thanks for the comments. I will be taking a picture tonight and doing that. I called the mazda dealership and they were unable to help also. Just don't want to spend the money if I can do it. Radiator no problem. It will be posted tonight after I get home. I am on hawaii time. got some VTCs not to attend

Transmission Whine by lucifer3

I purchased an 08 Ford Explorer XLT V6 2WD with 22,000 miles that appeared to be in excellent condition. At approximately 25, 000 miles it picked up a transmission whine. The dealer's service told me it was normal. Unsatisfied, I contacted Ford Customer Relations. After several communications with them the consulted with the dealer and concurred with their findings. I find it hard to believe this noise is normal. Does anyone have any comments or suggestions on what needs to be done to get rid of the whine?

My Nissan Sentra 2001, transmission problems?-Help. by corrinm16

My grandpa just bought me a 2001 Nissan Sentra Gxe. About a Month ago....
  
First off.... the horn doesnt work, it's not the fuse....
Anyone know what it might be???
  
And for my main question.... about 2 days ago.... everytime I would switch gears from park to reverse or to drive ...It would make a clunking noise and then it would jerk. Also when I stop at a stop sign or press the gas to go it makes the clunking noise. Well, Come to find out, there was barely any transmission fluid. We had to put two quarts just to fill it back up....
Do you think that the transmission is done for...
The clunking noises does mean it's the transmission right?
And what it the estimated price of a new Transmission?
I heard it was like 2,000 dollars, that seems a bit much, does that seem right?
  
Please help me out, maybe give me some advice. I'm only 18. And don't know much about cars....
