Transmission leak but maybe more?

[bootown]

so i was going to work on the 4runner today and then it surprised me. i have a transmission fluid leak somewhere (fluid is everywhere so i dont know where it's coming from). what i'm wondering though is could this be tranny fluid + dirt on the one coilover? i'm kind of colorblind so i can't say what color is on the coilover but it almost looks like engine oil. do you think trans fluid could have made it's way all over the coilover? sorry the picture is sideways, t4r.org apparently wants it that way

Tranny cooler lines leaking? There's nothing that far up front for the trans except the cooler.

Check power steering, our systems use ATF.

yeah, i think i have a leak in one of the lines right at the external cooler (in front of the radiator). just not sure how all that fluid would end up all over the coilover.

BlazeRunner - good idea, i'll check that out too
