Had this on my daughter's '95 CS. Did the radiator, triple flushed the trans and all is well about 8K later.
How much ATF was in the expansion tank? You can put some on your finger and smell it. Then you'll know if it's ATF or oil. I just had a little ATF on the surface of the coolant. If you have a lot--like throughout the tank-- it's a bigger problem and you might not want to drive the car.
You can slurp the ATF and coolant out of the reservoir with a turkey baster, put in fresh coolant and take your chances on the run to Maine. I would also drain the ATF and put in some fresh for some piece of mind, but if you get coolant coming out of the trans I wouldn't drive the car.
Where in NH are you? I'm in Amherst. My daughter goes to school in Maine.
