leaks, leaks, leaks!

My 400M leaks oil from the front (dont know if its the oil pan gasket or what!), i just put a new alum intake and it leaks near the distrib, tranny leaks fluid like a sib cuz u can see on my BRAND NEW EXHAUST where the fluid is dripping . the funny thing is my tranny fluid level hasnt gone down since.....ever!

i was thinking of just going down to the car wash and spray the heck out of my underneath and wash all those fluids off and see exacatly where its leaking or should i just start with replacing the intake, oil pan, tranny gasket?

Are you sure it isn't power steering fluid? They are the same colour.
