Since I don't have a rad cap, do I remove the top rad hose and check fluid inside? I don't want to cause an air pocket, as I've heard on these sealed units, this can be a problem.

guessing I would say the radiator tranny cooler is with a leak from the engine coolant . coolant pressures are high tranny pressures low at idle so the way to find out is the fluid in the tranny will be high level . tranny fluid in coolant hard to see.
also being too high the fluid will have bubbles in it because of this .
the tranny dip stick tube maybe defective GM part . some have had this occur it fractures !
you drive threw any deep water cause the water can enter threw the tranny vent tube .
the fluid if it does have these issues will require the fluid exchange method to remove this water. the pan is dropped and the filter replaced . filled with about 5QTS . then before starting the radiator tranny cooler line is disconnected . engine started and as the fluid comes out you installed fluid in the dip stick requires 2 people though you can do it with one but will have to shut down the engine several times. will take about 12-14QTS you do this until its a nice red color. then adjust the fluid level.. I use a 4 ft 3/8 plastic tubing down the dip stick and a hand pump to suck out any over filling .
