Re: missing coolant
There is a trans cooler located inside the radiator. Odds are that you have a leak and are mixing your coolant and trans fluid. I had the same thing happen to me and replaced the radiator.

Re: missing coolant
looks like Dex sludge to me. Coolant flush. Keep an eye on trans fluid as well.
