There is a tranny cooler integrated in the bottom of the radiator. Perhaps it is leaking.

As to filling the ATF, look at this thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...evel-help.html
You need a dipstick and a funnel that fits into that tube.

Good luck!

As for the leak I believe their is a oring on the pipe you could try to replace it and see if that takes care of the leak.

And if you are very unlucky you can also have transmission oil mixed with coolant which will render your car useless in 99% cases. Better check that when fixing the radiator because they are known to fail and mix the liquids
