i would check the vacuum hose that goes to the vacuum modulator on the transmission the vacuum modulator probably has a hole in it and the fluid is going into the engine and being burned or check your coolant the radiator may have a hole in the transmission cooler inside the radiator so check your coolant and the vacuum hose for trans fluid good luck

TAke it to a garage and have someone look at it. The cooler for the trans may have ruptured and is leaking fluid in the rad and coolant in the trans.
What can cause transmission oil in the water?
A lot of transmissions are cooled by running copper tubing from the trans to the bottom of the radiator and back to the trans oil pan. Depending on the age of the car and the condition of the system you could fix the problem by taking the car to a radiator shop and having them pressure check the system and solder any leaks found in the trans cooler system. Alternately, get a used radiator from a junk yard and replace your old one. The cooler lines are the only point that transmission fluid can get into the radiator water. UNLESS!! someone poured a pint of trans fluid into your radiator coolant bottle!!!! The first step in diagnosing this problem would be to drain and flush the coolant system, refill it and then in a few days check to see if you have the same problem.
