 Wifey called today and said there was Red oil left on the driveway, its left Two significant stains on the driveway in One day.
Its always had slight leak but nothing too much to worry about.
So had a look underneath tonight and noticed oil runs underneath the car, but then noticed what looked like milkshake stains from the top of the transmission (under the air filter box) running down.
Am I right in thinking this is coolant mixing with oil?
Can coolant mix with the tranny oil?

 If it's an auto, then it's normal to cool the auto fluid with coolant (through the radiator).

 Correct Rusky, she's leaking from the DPF bag area, below the driver side rear door.

Also found two coolant leaks.
Bottom of the radiator core and where the top radiator hose plumbs into the engine (rubber hose to plastic connector).

The milkshake must be a mix of engine oil refilling spillage and the top radiator hose leak meeting.

She's on the way out now, we dont want to sink any money into it so have thrown in some radiator stop leak in a vain attempt to keep her going.

Now to pull the PDF bag off and see whats going on....

 To replace the DPF fluid/bag at Citroen last time I asked was around £150

You can buy kits off the bay and reset it with 'lexia'.
