I agree, it should be the automatic tranny coolant lines. You dont have to do anything with them. You could plug them but whatever you do, dont damage them.

Yeah. Same things happened to me. If you're 5-speed, there should be no problem. They don't flow with the coolant.

I wouldnt use the tranny cooler as an oil cooler. The coolant running through the radiator is far too hot for your oil to cool to any beneficial temperature. Just go with a designated oil cooler.
