Transmissions that have their own cooler and pump?
All automatic transmissions have a PUMP in the front of them right behind the torque converter. Transmissions are designed to cool off by using transmission lines running from the transmission to the VEHICLE Radiator to cool the transmission fluid.
What would cause automatic transmission fluid to leak into cooling system?
Automatic transmission fluid is often circulated through a small section of a car's radiator to keep it cool. Getting coolant mixed with your ATF would mean there is a problem with your radiator. Remove the radiator from the car and get it into a radiator shop for repair. Don't drive the car because you'll risk permanently damaging your transmission. A radiator repair should be fairly inexpensive, even if you have to have parts de-soldered from the core and replaced. Even a new replacement radiator is relatively inexpensive if you R&R it yourself. Have fun.

How do you fix a 1998 GMC Sierra with a coolant leak you can't find if there also seems to be a reddish color in the reservior and you already checked the top hoses?
This would only make sense if you have an automatic transmission. What is probably going on is this; Your coolant flows through the radiator to cool down the motor. Your transmission fluid does the same. My guess is that you have a leak inside of your radiator, and the coolant and transmission fluid are mixing. This is a serious problem as your transmission is not cooling properly, and probably being damaged everytime that you drive the vehicle. I would suggest a new radiator.
What is the name of the hose that goes from the radiator to the transmission on a 93 buick skylark custom?

Why would there be oil in your antifreeze you have a 1995 Chevy big block truck?
The most common reason would be a ruptured oil cooler in the radiator. Check to see if you have oil lines going to the radiator, if you do, you need a radiator. Also, don't forget to change the anti-freeze because it will be contaminated. Don't forget to check your transmission for contamination also, as transmission fluid also runs on the outer region of your radiator to cool the transmission fluid.

What do the hoses hook to in the transmission?
