Default Z51 cooling systems

In Z51 cooling package,engine oil, trans ,power steering can one fluid system infiltrate the other? Are the three systems compleatly independant of each other and the radiator, offering no possibility line fluid crossover? Sorry if this stupid question but I dont have diagrams.

yes they don't cross over the raidiator is the only place they could possibly cross over and that's the tranny fluid and the antifreeze rgw oil well in the engine if the head gastet is blowen.

Lockman, could you clairfy that for me? Does the trans. fluid line pass thru the radiator to be cooled? Is there an outsite chance that radiator fluid could infiltrate the trans. line?
