So 2 times this winter my van didn’t start due to cold once and a dead battery the second time. Both times the same day it happened after getting it running again I noticed leaking trans fluid. First time was from a cooling hose, now 2nd time I can’t find the location of the leak yet. Are the situations connected somehow? Will I need to get it replaced or is it some how due to not enough power? ---

The transmission leaks has nothing to do with the battery if that is what you are asking. I don’t see worrying about this right now as your other thread says the vehicle will not start. What year and how many miles on the Dodge Caravan . If you did run this out of oil the expense to fix this thing may not be justified. ---

I know it wouldn’t be because of the battery. But the timing that both times same day it died had me wondering if it was connected somehow or just bad luck
