I mean it pumps out of passenger side pipe, goes through cooler and returns to gearbox from the drivers side pipe / rad

Can anyone tell me the direction the gearbox oil flows through the radiator cooler |? As I am sitting in the car, is it left to right or right to left, I have searched and googled for ages. Reason is I think I have an air lock as No pumping through the radiator, so I was going to do what we...
