The transmission oil cooler is located inside the radiator. If the transmission oil cooler developes a leak the oil will mix with the engine coolant. Check the Transmission Fluid. If it looks like a strawberry milk shake the transmission is in trouble. The longer you drive it the more it will cost to fix. Have it towed to a transmission shop asap.

What would cause water to be in the transmission of 98 Chevy pickup?
I can't see any reason for water to get in the transmission unless it went under water from a flood or crossing a stream. If engine coolant is getting into the transmission I would blame the transmission oil cooler in the radiator in which case the radiator would need replacement and the transmission flushed professionally. If the vehicle was driven with coolant mixed in with the transmission fluid you will probably have transmission failure before long.

What does oil in a radiator of a 89 Honda Accord mean?
If its engine oil I would say head gasket or cracked head. Also check under the oil fill cap for a milky color. You can also run the car a few minutes remove the radiator cap see if it smells like gas . Most shops use what they call a sniffer but, Ive found that I can smell the exhaust in the radiator. More than likely head gasket answer is the car automatic? if it is , have your radiator checked to see if transmission fluid is leaking into radiator from oil tank at bottom of radiator if it is engine oil and not transmission oli, you have a cracked head allowing oil to seep into the water chamber a bad head gasket allows water into engine oil, not oil into water
