I hope it is only that, but I'm seeking advice from you gurus to describe other possibilities. Maybe seals or gaskets in the lines?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Except the advice to keep a proper level of anti-freeze in the system. Duh, I done already node dat.
The only place where coolant and trans fluid would share a location is in the radiator, it doesn't matter how new it is, if there was no coolant in the water and the water expanded when it froze I am sure it cracked the radiator and that is why you are getting mixed coolant/Trans Fluid, so replace the radiator and hope nothing else bad happened.
