Hello!

I'm seeking advice about replacing the transmission cooler (radiator) situated in front of the A/C radiator.

There is a small leak caused by a collision with a deer.

I would like to know what types of couplings are there, how to disconnect them, the implication of disconnecting them, how to refill, compensate, the possible lost fluid back in the transmission.

I would also need to check the transmission fluid level. I don't think that the car is equipped with a stick for checking the fluid level.

Thank you for helping but I need to postpone this job because of a new problem. After the Turbo actuator replacement, it looks like the turbocharger is failing. (After the mechanic's opinion). I actually opened a new question about this problem.
Everything started a few weeks ago with temporary limp mode which accentuated until the Check engine came to life ;). I'm a long-run driver, covering the entire Country. I'm in the process of finding the best way to repair my car. Any advice helps. Thank you!
