I had the same prob when I replaced my rad, these cars have trans lines that run thru the rad to cool the tranny fluid.
It may be corroded lines or a loose connection

i had to replace the cooling lines from my trans to the rad. however i was lucky enough to just have to replace the last part of the hose (from rad to trans lines.. about 8 inches long). There is one that is the to rad and one that the fluid goes back to the trans. Anyway I still had the original hoses on (from back in '87 or '86 when it was built).
You can tell if its the old lines if they have those crappy assembly hose clamps. You can't remove them or adjust them at all, you have to cut them off. Anyway a trans guy told me that when I put it in reverse it squirts out more than usual. So maybe you can have someone put it in reverse while you check the line fittings.
Good luck
