I have a 97 jetta with an auto trans and I have tranny fluid in my reservoir for my radiator I noticed that the water line runs into the transmission is this a easy fix or is it a whole new transmission

Is tranny doing anything strange? You need a new radiator or disconnect the lines and join them together while plugging holes on radiator. Then flush radiator if necessary.

Have the transmission flushed and change the filter, this should be done ASAP as water in the trans is doing serious damage, the radiator inter cooler is leaking as fixitmr has suggested, do not mess around get a new radiator as well.

You will have water in the transmission, this can and will do serious damage if not rectified ASAP.

If there is antifreeze in tranny is there a fix I can do fairly easy it looks like the top of tranny has a plate that comes off (like tranny cooler fins)

Do not mess about with this, get the leak fixed and the transmission flushed and a new filter fitted.

That will fix the cause, but you still will have to get the trans check as any water in the oil will cause problems with in thew trans, maybe not now but it will.
