Hi,
I'm confused. I need you to confirm something for me. Are you adding Dexron to the radiator and overflow? Dexron is a transmission fluid and shouldn't be added to the cooling system.
Also, when you turned the heat on, there may have been air trapped in the heater core which you saw bubbling out.
With the engine cold, open the radiator and let me know what you are seeing. If possible, take a few pictures and upload them for me to see.
If you did see transmission fluid in the coolant/radiator, stop driving and running it until we get this figured out. The transmission cooler is located in the radiator. If it failed, you could see trans fluid in the coolant. However, you could also be getting coolant into the transmission which can cause serious damage.
Let me know.
Joe
