Radiator overfill turned coffee brown in color as well as the transmittion fluid in the trans refill dip stick. The odd color fluid began leaking from the front of the car and the car reved before it went into gear.L

Sounds like the transmission oil cooler is leaking inside the radiator. If so, DO NOT START THE ENGINE OR DRIVE THE VEHICLE or you risk completely trashing the transmission. The radiator will have to be replaced, and the transmission will require a thorough flush.
