Default Trans oil in engine oil.. 1996 Audi 80 2.6 Auto

My dads car today with no previous issues, leaks had a major problem today, He had been driving it for about 20mins, the red flashing oil light came on, he pulled over and checked the oil level, was perfectly fine as was the coolant. He countined driving it for about another 30km, he noticed that the gearbox wasnt shifting well and the engine was a bit gutless from a standstill. We left the car cooling down, when we checked the engine oil was way over the max mark and had a reddish colour to it, like it was mixed with the auto trans oil. What could possibly cause this? Thanks in advance for any help

think it's your radiator, the colling system in the readiator broke and mixed all the fluids together.
