For an automatic it has to be ATF, some manual transmissions also recommend ATF, but the majority manual shift boxes now use one of the multigrade oils, eg. 75W-90 or somethings along those lines.

Just standard ATF, Not type F. Actually I have heard you can use any Tranny fluid in Non Ford models but can only use Type F fluid in Ford model vehicles. I used to use type F in my MOPAR with Performance engine and Tranny with no problems. But if you are worried then use ATF or ATF+4 fluid and you should be fine.
Some do NOT have filler cap or dipstick. Need to see tranny shop. Is there drive,2,low on transmission shifter indicator? Some have CVT trannys and takes special fluid for CVT\'S.
If the radiator has tranny fluid mixed in with the coolant, then you have an internal tranny cooler leak. At the one side of the tranny, in the saddle tank, there is a tube. This tube allows hot tranny fluid to enter the rad and be cooled before returning to the transmission. It should be totally isolated and submerged in the coolant tank. Occasionally they can leak, and the two fluids will mix. You will need a new rad to repair the problem. It would also be recommended to have the tranny fluid and the coolant flushed after wards. Oil of any kind does not mix well with coolant, and could cause future damage to the trannymore so than the engine.
I am guessing it's an Automatice and you use a DEXTRON III. You'ld be able to fill it through the Transmission dipstick tube, becareful not to over fill. Good luck
