Default 96 Leaking green and red.

Ok so after doing the 5 of hours of work to rip out all my old suspenion and replace it with the new, I look under my hood to find a pool of green coolant on top of the reservoir tank. All over my engine cover, there looks to be as if something exploded and there are splatter marks of red liquid. I have nothing in my reservoir, and very little in the radiator. I want to take my car to my mechanic, and see what he has to say, but hes kinda shady. I'd much rather do the job myself, and if alls I need is a new radiator, I'd just do the work myself. Can anybody provide a general idea of what happened, and what I should do ?

Green = Coolant

Rred = Tranny Fluid.

If you can openly admit that your mechanic is shady go to a different one.
