Default Another leak

I'm leaking once again but this time I think it's trannyfluid. It's at the front just. Like where my vacuum pump was leaking but it's on the steering bar. Could it be my cooler lines? Trans level is fine. And I can tell its the same smell because my fluid smells burnt from the dip stick and the fluid on the ground smells burnt as well.

Help!

Is it oil coming from the puke bottle? Your tranny fluid should be red in color if not it needs changed. Im not familiar with the autos so I dont know where the cooler lines are ran at.

There are trans cooler line connectors in that area. The connectors wear out due to vibration, and leak. Sometimes you can get lucky and change the oring to fix it, otherwise your looking at new lines.
