I need you to check the radiator to see if it looks like there is ATF getting into the radiator. My concern is the radiator has gone bad and the coolant is getting into the transmission. That is what would cause a milky substance, when the two fluids mix. I recommend not driving it until this is checked. The noise could be a bearing going bad in the trans as a result of the coolant thinning the ATF.

Let me know what you find.
