So I noticed I have a decent sized pool of ATF under my car. I have been having a slight burning smell so this may be the cause. I am curious as to what could be leaking. From what I can see it is on the front side of the transmission.

I am sure it's ATF because it is red and smells like ATF.

Check your power steering as well, ie; rack, lines, etc.

The fill hole looks fine. I will check the base off the tube. What seals could leak ATF?

I didnt think my power steering lines were that far back. Its right at the Y pipe on the exhaust manifold.

So I got under there today. I am leaking brake fluid right where the brake line connects to the Caliper how do I fix that?

My ATF fluid leak is my own fault now that I think about it. I did my wheel bearing and pushed on the CV axle alot and I pushed back the seal that goes around the CV axle in the differential.
