Engine oil in the transmission would mean draining and replacing all the fluid. If you started the car I would have it towed to a place that can do a transmission flush.

I have a 2002 Windstar Van 204k miles and started with a minor leak of coolant. Oil is getting into the coolant. Used kW Head gasket repair solution and did what it said and now the leak is worse. Any ideas on this and what can be done?
On the Windstar, don't be driving it if the coolant is getting into the oil, it will mess up your bearings, The head gaskets and appropriate work need to be done to stop the leak.If oil is getting into the coolant, then coolant is getting into the oil.
Time for a new head gasket or two on the Windstar. Anything else will not fix the problem.

Thanks for your input. I thought as well but was hoping there was another solution.
