Leaks

I have a 2009 F150. This winter have been having a ton of leaks. I am assuming due to the cold weather in North Dakota. Came out this morning and have a very large red leak spot under the middle of my truck. I am also leaking something towards the engine compartment too. Is this something i should just monitor and fill the liquids as i see fit and wait for warm weather? Or should I take it into the dealership due to the volumes i am leaking?

What exactly is it leaking? Do the liquids have color? Is it clear?
I ask because there are two weep holes in the factory exhaust, and there by design. They will weep condensation and it's most noticeable during warm up...i.e. remote start or if you go out and start the truck letting it idle to come to temp.

The large one is Red so im figuring transmission fluid maybe? The others are dark. None of them clear to my knowledge yet.

Red is definitely the transmission.
Personally, I'd have it investigated by a mechanic or the dealership, but then again I tend to be OCD about those kinds of things.

I think the exhaust weep holes are a standard, but check the Oil leak out.
Just my .02

Guarantee you have the connector sleeve on the transmission leaking. Very common. Look up the Makuloco video on youtube.

Exactly! incidentally... he's FordTechMakeuloco on YouTube; he's a member here too, but can't remember his name on FTE.
