So I saw a puddle of oil under truck right under the trans pan and it’s look to be clear oil coming off the top of the trans pan and around edges I thought Trans fluid was reddish and also notice the leak once I park the truck up nice first in drive way smells like trans fluid.

A drop of new trans fluid is clear, a few ounces will look pink, a quart will look red, a gallon will look a much darker red. Color depends on use and volume.

Put a dye in the trans oil and find out if it is indeed atf. There are freeze plugs on the back of the head,one could be leaking and your seeing coolant.
