1) Get a compression test. The head gasket is probably leaking.
2) When the coolant leaks into the ATF, everything looks like a chocolate milkshake. Inspect antifreeze and ATF. Replace radiator and flush flush flush.
And pray you didn't smoke the tranny.
3) Check on cold startup that there's no white smoke (steam actually). This usually indicates a blown head gasket. There's no guarantee that your head gasket didn't simply leak intenrally from oil galley to coolant passage. The coolant pressure test ought to reveal that it's going *somewhere*.
