Sudden major leak, no impact

Suddenly leaking red fluid, no impact happened. Assume transmission fluid? Was leaking yesterday about 1 drip/second. No longer dripping. Liquid has no smell. Not oily at all. Power steering has fluid. Leak size still on pavement about size of hand. I cannot locate how to add more trans fluid. Can someone please advise for next steps to get it 10 miles to tranny shop? Thanks

 

That looks like Antifreeze

 

Probably should be okay for a 10 mile in town trip to the transmission shop..when in doubt get it towed..sure it's added hassle and expense but it could save you in the long run..Myself I'd drive it the 10 miles if its non highway in town..Good Luck.. manual transmissions typically have a fill plug above the drain plug somewhere on the case itself..

 

Yea that’s coolant not tranny fluid

 

Check under the water pump. Looks like it might have been seeping for awhile.

 

Specifies it is an MT right up front. So... either anti-freeze or power steering.

 

You're right, it's the coolant. Whew. Guess it goes to radiator guy instead of trans shop now. Thanks for the help.
