That fluid looks red...

Is it?? If so possibly a transmission cooler line???


Check your fluid levels, see what is low, address that, take it to the car wash and power wash the underside of the truck, then you will have an easier time finding the leak.

Dab it with a white paper towl, then it will be easier to see what color it is..

You need to touch the fluid with your fingers and rub it and look at it.
If you take it to the full service car wash and have the underbody wash you can then start to look for leaks.
You need to have a clean slate before you start looking for leaks, could be any number of things leaking.
www.cartalk.com, click the mechanix files link and enter your zip code and recommended shops will come up.

or use a white cloth towel or something white to soak up the fluid so you can get a color,,,

how is this so difficult?
