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...

more likely its the water outlet pipe at the back of the engine just under that.

Not hard to change, and they fail often, that pipe takes ALOT of heat and pressure
