my car was blowing out white smoke and mixing antifreeze/oil externally. usually symptoms like this would be a head gasket, but what stunned me is that there was also tranny fluid in with the mixture sitting on top. I know that tranny cooler is in the radiator, but would tranny fluid leak if its a blown head gasket? i don't want to have to change the head gaskets and it not be what is wrong. HELP!

Sounds to me like a combo of both maybe? That is odd that there is tranny fluid in there. Does tranny fluid make white smoke? Generally if i saw white smoke I would assume it is a head gasket. But I am unsure as well? Anyone else?

i was just thinking... the tranny fluid could be from a power steering leak which could be coincidentily happening at the same time as the blown gasket, ???? anyone ever had this?
