I know there is a small leak from radiator to transmission coolant, working on getting it fixed.

Maybe Firestone didn't properly burp the cooling system and that is where your coolant went? Before you begin your day, remove the rad cap and top off the radiator, and fill the rad reservoir to the cold fill line. Then continue to monitor for coolant loss.
If you want to pressure test the system, you could find coolant dribbling from loose clamps through this. Pressure tool could be rented from Autozone (sku-449951, 940427T). Or Orielly (67085).
