Oil Leak

My 2003 F250 6.0 lost close to a quart of what I think may have been trans fluid today.
I feel like I just made it home hopefully without hurting anything. I got underneath with some degreaser and a pressure washer and got things cleaned up and will go out in the morning and look things over and see if I can spot the problem. I'm just looking for some ideas on likely places to expect to find a leak. The bulk of the fluid is running over the tie rod on the right side of the truck and it doesn't seem to smell like motor oil. Thanks for any feedback. Craig S.

If the leak is that far forward, it's something to do with the cooler. Either a cut hose, a fragged fitting, or a leaking cooler.
