need to specify what vehicle and most vehicles trans lines run to and from side of trans to and from the radiator /or trans cooler in front of radiator
Could be damaged from the accident. Insurance companies often cover "hidden damage". The transmission lines go to a cooler built into the lower Radiator case. If the Radiator is smashed there is possibility that trans fluid and antifreeze briefly mixed and corroded the insides of your transmission.
if you are leakiung transmission fluid and coolant you most likley have a crack in the radiator, the radiator also houses the transmission cooler so when it goes bad it can also leak transmission fluid
Yes, it could be leaking into the radiator from transmission cooler in the radiator. I would flush as much of that out as you can and replace the radiator, the anti-freeze is very damaging to your transmission.
No, this is not related. You just happen to lucky enough to have two problems at the same time. If the engine got to a point where is was glowing hot, it could transfer the heat to the cooling lines causing air bubbles in the fluid and henceforth a slipping tranny. However, your engine would seize solid forever given those circumstances.
Does the oil in the radiator look reddish? likely it does...You most likely have a failure inside the radiator where the trans cooler coil runs through it. Replace radiator and have trans fluid changed and flushed. If slipping continues trans will need a rebuild. (hope not)
