What does it mean when there is red fluid dripping down where the radiator is on a 1994 Chevy Lumina?
This is transmission fluid. The leak is at the transmission cooler which may be part of the radiator.
Will the radiator over flow make the transmission go up?
If you mean does the transmission fluid level rise, the usual problem is a leak in the trans cooler built in to the radiator. Depending on engine temperature fluid will transfer back and forth between the radiator fluid and the auto trans fluid changing the level and color of both.

Why would your 1996 Dodge Avenger 2.5 v6 overheat assume the radiator cap and thermostat are all good heater blows but is cold this is a problem which showed up quickly?
sounds like blockage in the cooling system. See if you are not low on coolant in the radiator. Just because your reserve tank has coo;ant does not mean that you have enough coolant in the radiator. If you have low coolant in the radiator, it will blow cold. It can happen abruptly. If you are low on coolant in the radiator and not in your reserve tank you will need to find out why the system is not pulling coolant out of the reserve tank.
What does the 'Check Coolant' light mean on a 91 Mercury Tracer wagon?
Check the coolant level in the radiator when it is cold. -------------------------------------------------------------------- **Actually the check coolant light indicates the reserve is low. When facing the engine with the hood up...look to your left and you should see the tank. Fill that to the fill line and then run the car until the thermostat starts to pull the coolant...add when it gets low and until it stops taking fluid. Do not add directly into the radiator unless the reserve tank is empty.
What would cause the radiator fluid to run out the reservoir tank?

What does it mean when the left side of your radiator was smoking and it damaged the radiator cap when you took it off there was a lot of coolant in the radiator?
Your water pump might be broken or your thermostat might need to be replaced. You obviously don't have a leak so somehow the fluid isn't moving through the engine. If the thermostat is broken it will not let fluid into the engine and then the engine will overheat and the radiator will release smoke.
