So I cleaned up the entire engine and while doing so, I have determined that the green fluid which I now know is coolant, even though it looks orange in the reservoir and container, leaked from the heater core connector. Connector has a lot of play in it, more than I would think it should have, but not in a slop kind of way, but in the on/off direction. I was able to push it on at least a 1/4"-1/2", not sure if that will make any difference. I am sure there is an o-ring in there for a seal, so I am going to watch that area and see how much fluid I loose, most likely will need to replace the o-ring. All the stuff on the top of the trans was just leftover foam soap from car wash...
See the red arrow here... That fitting seems to have a small leak and is dripping down and collecting on surface of the plastic fitting below it. At least I think that's whats happening...
