radiator

I have a 1998 ford club wagon with a 5.4 V8 - the other day I noticed some coolant on my garage floor - got under the van and noticed a small leak at the bottom of the radiator when it is under pressure - looking at the radiator I saw that there were two radiators in front of the engine - the one closest to the engine was thicker then the other one which was in front of the coolant radiator but the overall size was pretty much the same as the coolant radiator - what is the thinner radiator for - I'm assuming that the automatic transmission cooling radiator is inside of the regular coolant radiator - would appreciate any thoughts - thanks Joe
