Ok I replace my radiator and flushed the cooling system to get the chocolate milk looking liquid out. (NASTY) Bought a brand new radiator, put it in, flushed the system, filled it up and took it for a drive. Seemed really good...until this morning we checked the fluids before leaving to take my husband to work and the radiator was full of "chocolate milk". My husband said it seems the transmission fluid is getting into the radiator. HELP!!! What do we do????

You may still have a problem or you may have not gotten it all out before. It'd very hard to flush all that stuff out. I usually use some dishwashing liquid. You could also still have a problem like a bad intake gasket or cracked head.
