i have a 94 thunderbird and the same thing happens to me,the liquid your seeing is a creamy orange right? the seal between your radiator and your transmission is broke causeing the pressure to built up in your tranny making the liquid leak into your antifreeze....sorry to say but do what i did...buy a new radiator! its the only way to fix it!
The transmission cooler (possibly part of the radiator) has failed.
check your radiator hoses and change gaskets
INTAKE MANIFOLD, AND OR GASKET LEAKING! IT CAN BE EASILY TESTED BY ANY AUTO REPAIR SHOP.
If it is motor oil in the anti freeze, then it is either a cracked head, cracked engine block, or a head gasket blown. If it is transmission fluid in your antifreeze, then the radiator is leaking from the transmission cooler ----- although usually that would cause antifreeze to be in your transmission fluid.
Transmission coolant hoses (in and out) are leaking. The Y-manifold is below the filler cap on bulk head. Hoses connect from here straight down to transmission.
You have a leaking transmission cooler, usually part of the radiator. The transmission fluid is mixing with the antifreeze turning it pink.
Antifreeze is typically green, but the newer stuff is "gold". If you're getting red liquid leaking from the radiator it's probably the transmission coolant line.
There is no antifreeze in a refrigerator.
Look at the oil on the dipstick. If you have antifreeze leaking into the crankcase the oil will be milky.
Antifreeze will be leaking in the floorboard on the passenger side, there will be a smell of antifreeze through the vents.
You can't the transmission on the 2002 Thunderbird is sealed. There is no distick or any way to add fluid other than through the ports on the transmission under the car. The dealer has to do that. It shouldn't need fluid unless it has a leak. If it is leaking it has to be done by a mechanic that will fix the leak and then drain the entire transmission and refill it through the ports on the bottom.
you got an antifreeze leak
