Default Is my SRT leaking radiator fluid? (PHOTO)

Yikes! This started off as a small puddle and hadn't grown in the past few weeks, but I left the car in the garage this weekend and when I got back home she had pee'd!

I backed the car up a bit to display the fluid leak, but it is definitely coming from somewhere near the front passenger side under the bonnet. The fluid has a red tint in color and seems to be coming from near the A/C condensation drips. What the heck is going on??

If it's red I would guess tranny fluid.

Thanks! I thought this was my radiator/coolant fluid this whole time!

The factory coolant has a blue color. Now you need a dip stick of some sort to measure the level after you get the trans leak fixed. More threads to search.

I was afraid it would come to that. And it's a "Sealed" transmission - might be tricky!

I bought one off ebay but after buying it ..... make your own. What they sell you is 4 feet long and is only for checking the level. All you need is something thats flexible enough to pass all the angles and reach the bottom of the pan. You can find the correct markings and temperatures in several threads.
