Cost of replacing radiator?

[Caputo777]

I just got off the phone with a mechanic who's working on my car. Unfortunately the car had a lot more problems than I thought I was bringing it in for....

One of the problems he's saying is that when he runs the car for more than a half hour and then shuts it down it leaks almost a quart of tranny fluid which he is chalking up to a radiator problem.

Has anyone else had a similar problem? How about a ball park figure for the cost of replacing a radiator?

ATF runs through part of the radiator for cooling it.

oh, i retract me previous statement.
gmpartsdirect.com says $202.87 for a new radiator plus shipping, id assume auto parts stores would be less.

I got a rebuilt radiator for my '96 for $100. Mine was a five speed but it had the fittings for the tranny cooling/heating. I replaced it myself.
