5EAT Blown Transmission cooler fitting

Need to update my sig line but I have:

2005 Subaru Outback LL Bean

3.0 H6 / 5 EAT Transmission

136k

My daughter went to the store on New Years day and came right back.   She said the car "would not go"

I go outside to find a trail of trans fluid from my driveway out and around the block!

Upon closer inspection the bung for the trans cooler was completely blown out.    My initial thought was rust but it appears that the radiator failed INTO the trans cooler.   The resultant pressure increase blew out the fitting.

My plan is to put a new transmission filter / radiator / fluids in it and see if she will go.   Anything I should do/check that you guys can think of.   Pulled dipstick for trans (what is left) does not appear frothy or smell burnt.

Thanks!

Tom
