I have a 1999 Buick Le Sabre that is pumping pinkish/milky colored transmission fluid out of what I assume is a pressure relief valve dealing with the transmission. What would be causing this.

I don't have any dash lights that comes on indicating I have a problem.  Just afraid too drive it due too pumping the fluid out so fast.  Any help would be appreciated.

It's obvious to me that you have a ruptured transmission cooling line inside the radiator where the water and transmission fluid are mixing together giving it the tale-tale pinkish white and frothy appearance. You will have to replace the radiator and flush out your transmission and replace the filter and fluid with all new . Failure to do a complete cleanout will result in transmission death in as little as a couple hundred miles (200 or less) This answer provided by Millerwright1@Yahoo.com
