Coolant in my Tranny...All of it!

The details:
2000 4Runner V6 (Auto tranny)

Was driving home from work yesterday, when I saw my Temp gauge spike, then the Engine light came on. I pulled over immediately. I checked everything out and here's what I got:

- Radiator almost completely dry
- Tranny dipstick COVERED in Strawberry milkshake
- Strawberry milkshake dripping from underneath (can't see from where... because metal oilpan shroud is blocking).
- Oil dipstick looks good...no chocolate milkshake there.

Had the car towed home but haven't had a chance to get underneath it yet.

Give me some ideas on where to begin? Any idea where the coolant and the Transmission could exchange mass amounts of fluid?

Tranny cooler incorporated as part of rad is probably leaking(tranny cooler lines lead to side of rad.)
