will this be under warranty?

seems my '07 sedan is having one too many issues lately. tonight my dad, who is an auto mechanic, replaced the rotors, brakes, and steering shaft on my car. before he started work on the steering shaft i noticed fluid on the bottom of my car near the radiator. i instantly thought "oh great, another leak" because i just had the radiator replaced maybe two months ago for an antifreeze leak. well my dad checked it out he said it wasn't antifreeze but transmission fluid and that i need to call the dealer because that should still be under warranty [bumper to bumper expired 2K ago]. so i will be giving them a call tomorrow but i figured i'd get some css advice first. i went out and took a quick picture to share, my question is...will it be under what warranty i have left if i took it in?



i don't know much about cars, or warranty stuff for that matter, and my dad was in a hurry to get back inside to watch the game so he didnt explain it much but i wasn't sure if for some reason the radiator being replaced might somehow have something to do with the leak and whether the dealer would cover it or not? would they even notice that the radiator had been replaced? sorry for all the questions and thanks for any help

I'm not sure if the auto's have a tranny cooler or not but if they do .....a line could be loose from the radiator replacement. If not the car has a 5/100k mile powertrain warranty so take it in.

just to let you know, you will be responsible for the first 100 bucks to cover the deductible of the powertrain warranty.
