Good ol Transmission issue

Hello Guys,

This is my first post because I need serious help. My transmission to my Chevy Aveo 2010 is leaking. We did a check on the dipstick and it had little to no fluid. The car would shift weird while down shifting to a stop. I just bought this car last year and I use it to commute and it only has 36,000 miles on it. The dealer said I have ran out of warranty is this true? In the winter I did have a leak in the coolant that was replaced by a family friend could that be the problem with an incorrect fix? I just need help this car is having issues like a car in the 100k range should have. Please help should I also check the recalls also? Thanks

It's possible the two might be connected as the car uses a combined radiator and oil cooler.

The two pipes you see running across the front of the radiator are the feeds from the ATF sump beneath the gear box.

This thread suggests the 2009 model had numerous complaints about the wall between the two sections failing and oil mixing with coolant. I guess my first port of call would be to check around the ATF sump, the plumbing between the sump and radiator and radiator itself for any leaks. Also, check for any signs of oil in the coolant.

Okay thank you guys so much for the support. I have another question I live in buffalo new york and I wanted to know if the dealer i bought it from (Basil on Transit Rd.) can fix this. I had a coolant issue and I asked and they said no so will they bulge if its a power train issue. This car is relatively new and I am mechanically inclined, should I get the transmission flushed and what other things I should check?
