A milky color indicates that engine coolant has been leaking into the transmission's cooler in the radiator.

Yes it can. check the oil dip stick. if coolant is leaking inside the engine the oil will be "milky" in color.

Most likely blown head gasket but for some reason you have water or coolant in your oil
What causes the coolant color to turn milky?
There is only one thing that comes to mind on your problem of a milky coolant and it isn't good news. I am leaning towards you having a cracked block, a cracked head or a blown head gasket. What it sounds like is that engine oil is mixing with your coolant. There are only a few places where this can take place, which I have mentioned. I would run a pressure check on your colling system and watch for the pressure to slowly go down. Also look for milky oil contamination. I wish you the best of luck.
My 1990 Nissan maxima will not shift out of first and will not go into reverse plus the fluid looks like milk?
The transmission fluid cooled by routing it through the radiator. The fluid probably is a milky color because the radiator had failed internally allowing the coolant and transmission fluid to mix. Check the coolant and if looks milky change the radiator, coolant, and transmission fluid.

The transmission oil is milky in color and the oil continues to increase and the transmission slips?
You are getting water into the coolant. Most likely cause is a failed radiator/oil cooler. If the coolant level keeps reducing and transmission oil level keeps increasing then the above answer is correct.
