It sounds from your description like hydraulic fluid, which can be brake fluid, power steering fluid, or tranny fluid (ATF). ATF will be redder than the DOT3 fluid. You have two lines from tranny running to the tranny cooler (either built into the radiator or a stand alone cooler). Transmission cooler lines can leak, so get yours checked before any damage from loss of fluid occurs to your tranny.
