you check eng light might have to do with the radiator. radaior is leaking you just gotta find out where. air bag is a dealer thing. tranny is probally running low on fluid.

The tranny brand new...
Its leaking from the top of the radiator....

you might be able to take it to a radiator place and they might could fix it. the tranny i'm saying still needs fluid. have you check it? who put it in? they should have a warrenty on it

I am pretty sure you know this already..but just in case. I noticed you said your car is over heating...that is prolly becasue of the radiator problem:hmmm:. Where exactly is your radiator leaking from? You said the top..but the top could be towards the top, the cap, the horizontal bar on the top of the radiator. Is there any part towards the top of your radiator where you can see damage, maybe bent or puntured fins?

Before you say the 1997 Tiburon is a piece of Sh!t,, first blame the first owner for not taking care of it.
