Last time I changed my radiator i didn't even have to add any trany fluid. It only holds a pint or two. It is only a small coil in the passenger side radiator tank. You should barely be able to see a drop on the dipstick. Unless you have an external cooler then it could be 1-3 Qts.

I have a small external cooler that is about 3/4 of a quart. But the tranny has been leaking since I got it replaced, but now I know where it's leaking and the mechanic says he'll cover it once I get the radiator done. I'm like halfway done with doing the radiator and water pump, I just gotta relocate the oil filter and then reinstall all the new stuff.

Are you moving the oil filter back to block removing all the remote crap? if so see if it makes a difference in your oil pressure. I've been wanting to relocate mine for a while since it leaks every where, but I'm hoping to pick up a little more pressure at idle with it gone.
