Mystery ATF Fluid Leak

I need some advice on this one. I noticed a leak under my truck and it is coming off of the skid plate on the front left hand side of the truck it appears to ATF Fluid as it is red and does not seem to be coolant. No sweet smell and thick and slippery not watery like coolant. I immediately assumed that it was either the high or low pressure line for the power steering after tracing up and down the lines with my hand i cannot find any problems. I just replaced the steering rack and high pressure line. Again I cannot seem to find anything wrong with the power steering system. I began looking around for the source of the leak and the only other place i could find was in the second picture. I put my finger up and sure enough it seems to be ATF Fluid. I am stumped as i have no idea how ATF Fluid would be coming from that area of the motor. It is located under the Alternator on the drives side front of the motor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
