Coolant? Bad radiator Radiator has a separate cooling tank (usually at the side or bottom of radiator) for transmission fluid. At times this tank ruptures allowing coolant to get into transmission. Most times causing a transmission failure.
Should be at the bottom or rear of the radiator Should be at the bottom or rear of the radiator
Drain radiator at bottom or rear of radiator
1. Water pump possibly weak, failing or leaking coolant 2. Thermostat is not operating correctly or the housing for it is leaking coolant. 3. The water jacket in the engine block has possible restrictions or leaks somewhere. Head gasket breach...leaking coolant? Freeze plugs on side of block? 4. The radiator hoses (upper or lower) have issues and are leaking. What area of the engine compartment is the STEAMING COOLANT coming from? Top, Bottom, Front, Back, Radiator, Engine etc. (This info is important for anyone to be able to help diagnose the problem without being able to ACTUALLY see it).

You will need to look underneath to see what part the coolant is leaking out of. When you find the source, you will know the failed part.
Begin by removing the bottom radiator hose. Allow the old coolant to drain out. Replace the hose to its original position. Fill the radiator with new coolant.
The AT oil cooler is in the bottom tank of the radiator. If you are seeing oil leaking from one of the lines from and to the transmission connection could be loose.
open the radiator cap, find the plug at the bottom right of the radiator and open it to drain old coolant
