Where is the transmission fluid leaking from? Coolant might be migrating to the transmission via the radiator transmission cooler, hence the transmission leak and you losing coolant. Does the fluid look like a pink milkshake? So it's time to replace the radiator and flush the transmission and all associated lines. Do it ASAP and don't continue to drive the vehicle if that is the case. Transmission don't like coolant in them as the clutches will swell.

The fluid is red not like a pink milkshake. Not exactly sure where the transmission leak is coming from.
OK, determine where the fluid is leaking then. Maybe from the cooler hoses or the lower pan or from a plug. The coolant leak might be a separate issue. Look for a coolant leak while your under the car as well and report back.

I checked the oil dip stick and it was dry. I poured oil in and it ran right thru. could this be a gasket issue? It came out like a rainbow like there maybe water in the engine. I don't believe its a transmission issue now. That was from another vehicle. But I still have the problem with the coolant running through and i think that will probably have to be replaced. Now my problem is the engine and it was dry. Sorry I was given some miss information before.
