The automatic transmission oil cooler is built into the radiator. If the oil cooler developes a leak the oil mixes with the engine coolant.
The 2 lines that come from the transmission and go to the radiator are full of transmission fluid and the radiator is what cools it.
You replace the radiator

"transmission fluid leaking from fitting below radiator cap after replacing radiator on 99 surburban
No. Transmission fluid lubricates the transmission. Coolant is used by the radiator to cool the engine.
This is transmission fluid. The leak is at the transmission cooler which may be part of the radiator.
transmission cooler
the cooling tank in the radiator for the transmission is bad
It is the transmission cooler hose or line. It runs the fluid through a cooler on the radiator to cool the transmission fluid.
you have a blown headgasket, or if it is has an automatic transmission, it is also possible that you may have transmission fluid in your radiator. this is caused by transmission fluid in part of your radiator leaked into your coolant
No, but some autos use the radiator to cool transmission fluid. It circulates within its own plumbing, and the fluids never commingle.
You have a leaking transmission cooler, usually part of the radiator. The transmission fluid is mixing with the antifreeze turning it pink.
