Well, I discovered today that the ATF I thought was dissapearing into the diff was instead going into the coolant supply, I guess throught a leaking transmission cooler. The coolant level in the overflow tank keeps rising and getting redder. I didn't notice it right away as my coolant is that red non-phosphate stuff.

My neighbor had in his F*rd pickup. We flushed out both systems and repared the leak ( in the radiator ) and it was OK
