Huge leak after oil change

[nghtshd88]

I went to get an oil change and they mentioned they topped off my fluids a little as well as mentioning an oil leak I knew I had. When I got home I checked it all and a good pint of orangey fluid was right under my PS rack right behind the oil pan as well as right beneath the passenger headlight, those two lines that go into the bottom of the passenger side of the radiator also had a minor leak.

This is orange and it doesnt smell like trans fluid at all but has a faint smell of coolant. What are the two lines going into the bottom of the radiator? Both leaks came at the same time with the mid one being pretty bad.

I just recently had a trans flush and my coolant recently decreased a little rapidly.

What are the two lines going into the bottom of the radiator?

are you talking about the trans cooler?

Thats what they are then. Well theres orange fluid around them as well. Just a little. But it doesnt smell like trans fluid at all which smells horrible. I got a bad leak on the ass of the motor and its the same fluid thats around those lines.

The transmission cooler and/or lines maybe leaking. Some evidence of the leak can be spread by vehicle operation. Check all connections, hole/holes in line/lines. Some radiator fluids are redish brown, my wife's car has that redish brown radiator fluid. You should be able to tell if it is coolant or ATF. JMHO

Yea, I know I should but to my knowledge its suppose to have Ford Gold in it not anything orange. Im hoping it didn't mix..

You wouldn't leak much transmission fluid before the transmission stopped. It seems more likely that it is coolant. They probably added universal green, which is actually okay if they used the good stuff.
