I am haveing to put 1-2 quarts of tranny fluid in my car every 2-3 days. I cant see a leak, but it suddenly had an excessive amount of white smoke come out of the tail pipe. When I checked my oil, it was way over full, like 3 quarts. And it looked to have tranny fluid in it. So I changed the oil and filter, but once again, in a couple days, it was smoking and I think the tranny fluid is getting in with the oil somehow. What do I do?

Wow this sounds like a couple issues. Your trans fluid runs through your radiator to cool. I believe you probably have a radiator leak internally. Check your coolant and see if there is an oil presence. As for it getting into the crankcase, well this is probably due to a blown head gasket. Thus the contaminated coolant is leaking through the head gasket causing trans fluid to end up in the crank case.
