Last night I cleaned my TB and MAF, took a test drive and all seemed well. Today I bled the AHC and that also went well. After the test drive I saw a puddle of red fluid on the garage floor.

Crawled under the vehicle an took the attached pic. I need help in identifying what this leak is and next steps. Is this transmission fluid?

Did you ever figure this out? I just saw transmission fluid on the garage floor the day before Christmas. Pulled the plastic skid plate and see a similar sight on my '99 - fluid level is fine (hot and idling) and it only starts to drip lightly about 20-30 minutes after I shut the engine off - weird.
 
Antifreeze not ATF

Turns out it was not ATF. I have a slow weep coming from WP, getting replaced after the holidays.

What was in the driveway and on the tranny case was thick and I couldn't tell the diff between it and the ATf fluid, not a mechanic, just as weekend hacker.

I had parked on a slope and the drip worked its way down to the transmission.

Best of luck sorry I couldn't be more help.
