Default leaking But were?

OK just got home from work, and my wife was following me, any ways she spotted fluid spraying allover the road, Its Trans fluid-ed for sure. Couldn't see were its coming from for sure as its dark here, but my guess was the main leak is some were between the crack between the Bed of the truck and the cab. What could this be, a hose ect ect. Trans fluid-ed pans at the front, and not leaking Im lost. I mean Spraying its everywhere on everything,

Block the wheels, start the truck, put it in neutral. (set the parking brake if it still works....) have a look, see what you can see. If 'nothing', get some brake cleaner, and clean everything off good. (truck NOT running......) Drive it for a bit, then look and see where the fluid is accumulating.....

Also, check the trans pan bolts. Mine were just finger tight, and some of them, not even that.

check the location of the drip/spray. common leak places are front seal, rear seal, or cooler line or hose going to the radiator.

don't drive it until you get a handle on it. transmissions are very expensive and running them low will ruin them.
