transmissions suck
Take the cap off the radiator and see what it looks like. If the car has a tranny cooler inside the the radiator, it is possible (although extremely rare) it could leak ATF into the radiator. That still shouldn't cause your smoking though
New problem has arises. Sometimes it'll burn blue smoke upon just startup only. Other times it'll do it from startup to shutdown. Seal problem? Or could it be that my oil level is too high? The other day I looked at my oil the level was high and it actually looked reddish looked again today, it's still high but it looked brown. When they say water contaminated oil looks like chocolate milk do they mean like not see through or like a chocolate milk brown that's still see through?
Regarding the dropping tranny fluid, you need to get under your car and look. Get some ramps if you don't have them, cheap and super easy to get your car up. Look for leaks. If nothing obvious, clean off the whole area, get the car off ramps (presumably level ground), fill with fluid and put some cardboard under the car. Look at the cardboard the next day for drips, note the general area of the drips, and get back under the car to find the leak.
Regarding the smoke, you're burning oil. Change your oil, that way you know what it SHOULD look like, and you know it's fresh, and the proper amount. If it's smoking, your oil seals are bad. Fixing them requires a rebuild. Or just keep adding oil and drive around like that, it'll live as long as it's got oil.
What do you mean there's water under the oil cap? Water would sink to the bottom of the oil pan. Do you mean there are droplets?

Yea there are water droplets like condensation. Like I knowif there was an antifreeze leak it would be covered in brown stuff but maybe not since the cap is tp high up. You think blow-by exhaust condensed in my engine and possibly caused the white smoke? I want to do the rebuild on it all I need is a hoist and a stand. I have the manual and a good amount of tools. Do you think it would be difficult for me to do a rebuild? I have experience with dirtbike engines and such and I know how to read the manual. Just don't wanna get into something I can't finish.
