If the fluid is red, its tranny juice. Somewhat unlikely since there are 
many more places for oil to get out. Oil can come from the oil pan gasket, 
rear main seal or oil level or pressure sender. If it is not one of the 
easily fixed leaks, some people have had luck with the oils formulated for 
higher mileage cars that swell the seals and stop leaks.
