Alright here is an update... It was the transmission cooler/ac condenser . I took it to a family mechanic and he charged me 320 with parts and labor. It was fixed on Monday and guess what no more leaks!!!
Had the same problem with my 2011 but was lucky it happened just before the warranty ended. Dealer changed cooler, and hose and recharged ac. While they had it all drained I had them service transmission only had to pay for the new filter. From what I see on the board it appears to be a frequent problem with these vehicles.

Count me in. $250 to replace power steering hoses first, because we thought that was it when the hoses were wet and the steering reservoir was empty. Then $750 more to fix the transmission cooler leak. Was leaking at the seal between the head and tubes in multiple places. Had to get an OE cooler for $310 part alone. Made poorly, I have no reason to believe the replacement won't leak again in another 30k.
