hmmm... big red flag!... don't know if this is the same or might help you....

Just had trans problem on my 04 SE.. auto trans..

keep in mind, this happened all of a sudden, had no warning, but appearantly, it is a problem that happens more than just rarely...

On the way to work, all of a sudden the trans starts slipping... pulled over and shut down...noticed trans fluid pouring out underneath... had it towed to the dealer

The trans cooler is appearantly located in the bottom part of the radiator. There are o-rings for the trans fluid hoses that are prone to failure. Thats what mine did, causing coolant to get in the trans and since there was basically too much fluid, it started pouring out the trans overflow.

Had to replace the radiator, torque converter and have the trans re-built...cost over $2k!
