    Sounds like you have a transmission fluid leak? You should be leaking any transmission fluid. Can you tell where it's leaking from? Are there puddles under the car when it sits for a while?

    As for the coolant, it is dripping from the overflow tube on the radiator or somewhere else? It could be any number of components that are leaking.

    after driven the car around town 2 hours or so ill park in the garage an the next day i come out there is a large amount oftranmisson fluid and coolant under the car i check the under belly for leaks on the tansmission pan but none. The only thing i can see that is leaking is the drian. Is this bad or normal?

    Which drain are you talking about? The one on the bottom of the radiator? I didn't think we had drain plugs in the pans of the transmissions unless someone added one, in which case it could be leaking. No large amount of leaking fluids is normal. You should check out where it might be coming from. There are transmission fluid cooling lines that run up to the radiator on I think the passenger side. That could also be a possible leak location. And I think the radiator coolant drain is directly below that as well.
