    Autotransmission oil should dielectric while coolant in radiator is glycol & water mixture + antirust. What about putting a sensitive sensor at drain sump of autotransmittion and link to a external gauge in dash board. This way it is able to display detection of water (being part of the coolant mixture) as soon as leakage had just started. To me bypassing the radiator to an external oil cooler for transmittion oil looks like a good idea as long as the car is not operating in area which have winter condition. Imagine in winter the autotransmittion oil could be as low as -10 deg C. Upon starting up the transmittion oil need to able to go up towards 50 deg C asap. But once it get up toward 100 deg C it need to be cooled down. The coolant section at bottom of radiator is normally at around 55 to 70 deg C. Perfect place to warm up transmittion oil in winter and for cooling down once approaching 100 deg C.

    All volvo 850s from the 90s did this too. Both mine, and my buddies were leaking internally and mixing the fluids. Luckily it wasn't too far gone yet and a radiator replacement and a trans fluid flush was all it needed
