I've seen enough coolant enter the transmission for it to leak fluid from the overflow vent and not have a milkshake consistency. It was brownish. If you dumped a quart in all at once it probably would but a longer term slow leak wont.

You could always drop the pan and look. A trans fed antifreeze from the cooler will almost always have rust pock marks all over the pan and steel valve cover plates.

Any good MB shop will have glycol tests on hand. You could take them a small sample of fluid to test if in question.
