Transmission fluid drops 1 quart or more every time engine is started. It appears to show up in engine coolant. Is it possible to leak transmission fluid in the radiator?

yes there is a coolant line inside radiator that is probably leaking you'll either need another radiator or hook up a separate trans cooler which is available at auto parts.
