It is most likely a ruptured trans cooler in the radiator, letting trans fluid mix with coolant, the problem is that it will also mix with trans fluid.

I would replace radiator, flush cooling system and drain the trans and replace fluid and filter.

Step 1 - A heater cannot operate unless the engine is full of coolant/antifreeze. If coolant level is low check the system for leaks.
