Potential transmission problem?

Woke up this morning to drive my 07 TL and I got a flashing error on the dashboard/navi saying there was a transmission problem with the car. I open the hood and my coolant is all gone, there is a purple-red-ish oil all over the ground. Not sure what happened.. any advice? Car has 95k miles on it so I know I'm not too far away from the 105k service. I keep up to date with all fluids and maintenance on the car.

Thanks,
AJ

most likely bad radiator or water pump. Your tranny is most likely all good. I believe the radiator has hoses inside the tranny so that explains the red tranny fluid leaking. I would do the 105k service and change the radiator

There are transmission cooler lines going to and from the radiator and transmission . It's the radiator. Go buy a new Denso one on Amazon and new upper and lower radiator hoses too. Two gallons of Honda blue coolant and a few quarts of transmission fluid to fill her back up and you'll be rocking in no time!
