you need to start with a complete, comprehensive, cooling system flush with a commercially available additive like Prestone Radiator Flush or similar, then you can diagnose your system problems, if it is trans fluid, you should be able to see it after you flush and refill and while you are doing these, you can check your fan, water pump and belt
