Your cooling system is half full of air it sounds like. With the engine cool start it up and remove the radiator cap leave it running. It will take probably 10 minutes for the thermostat to get hot enough to open up, when it does you will see the fluid in the radiator start to move and then I'll bet the level will drop where you can't hardly see any fluid. Fill your radiator with coolant and water, or just water better to use coolant as it won't build up as much with minerals from the water. It's best if you can pre-fill some gallon jugs of water so that it is warmer then straight out of the hose. Anyway after fluid drops fill up radiator with fluid and repeat until fluid level no longer drops. Then fill the overflow tank to the appropriate level.

You need to put your car on a lift and see exactly where the leak is coming from.
Wipe clean the bottom of your transmission use a degreaser and some shop rags so you can see what kind of leak you have and where its leaking at, I assume it is an automatic.
Is it a pan gasket, a seal or a cracked case.
I would take it to a transmission shop and
have them fix it or replace it. If it is a pan gasket you probably can do it yourself if your are up to it, depending on your skill set level, Youtube can help guide you if you decide to go that route.
Whatever you do please do not use any diy tranny sealant that you put in your transmission, it’ll gum up the internal gears, belts, ports and could ruin your transmission, if it’s just a pan gasket leak.
If its a seal a tranny shop can rebuild it or a crack case your tranny needs to be replaced with a rebuilt tranny or a certified salvaged tranny.
