Does it have one, where is it?

Long story short, car is auto but i will swap out to manual in near future. Radiator needed replacing, i purposefully had new rad designed without oil cooler section so i could get the latgest capacity i could get to fit in the radiator slot.

This then leaves me the issue of getting an oil cooler attached to existng lines. That iv pretty much got sorted, ish. Anyway i was curious to know how/if oil was pumped round system form auto box sump to cooler upfront, is it just as simple as there being a small pump somewhere that does this?

Cheers

Can anyone tell me

I do think that there is an oilpump for the gearboxoil of an automatic. In the belhousing is an oilpump which circulates the oil through the autobox. from there into one line towards the radiator and back to the oilsump of the autogearbox.
