Most of the new oil goes back into the pan as main regulator discharge. The converter discharge oil is normally routed through the cooler and then to the rear half of the box as lube oil. The heat exchanger in the radiator is very difficult to clean under the best of conditions as it tends to trap the contaminates.

Nothing sends a customer through the roof more than an oil leak on their new car or truck.
