why does tranny fluid leak from motorcycle oil cooler?

1980 Harley XLS sportster oil cooler is spraying tranny fluid out of it what seal//or seals are blown? Do I need to replace the oil cooler and the seal in any particular manner or order if so what would it be? This an overhaul of a bike that's sat for 2-3 yrs. and hasn't had engine work. The electrical is good, brakes are sound. I cleaned the carb and reset it, replaced the push/pull throttle its perfect, started her up and noticed compression loss then backfire. I went around turned her off and thats when I noticed the fluid leaking from the cooler. I saw smoke near regulator but it still looks good. I replaced the generator brushes, starter is clean, all breakers replaced, wiring new and in place. I can't find the oil line. I guess I will lift the bike and follow them thru. I may need diagrams. Well thats it please help meeeeee!

Never heard of a Harley Davidson with a trans oil cooler. Are you SURE its a trans oil cooler or, is it just an "aftermarket" engine oil cooler ? Either way, you don't need it unless it really runs hot ( over 230 degrees ). I use AMSOIL 20W50 synthetic motor oil in my 2003 Heritage Softail .... Engine, Primary and Trans. and lowered my operating temperature 10 - 15 degrees.

If you REALLY want to leave it on there though, Check the fittings where the lines connect to the cooler. The oil MAY be leaking from a loose fitting and running down the line to the lowest point where its dripping at. If the fittings arent loose, remove them and check for o-rings or gaskets which may be damaged or missing.
