Default oil leak somewhere

hi everyone i have a 97 blazer ls, and i noticed some drips on my driveway, so i got down and looked underneath the truck, and at the front u can see all sorts of stuff is soaked underneath, like the sway bars all wet the ball joints are kinda wet, i put my finger on the oil and confirmed it is red (tranny oil), i was just wondering are there hoses that go to the rad to cool the tranny oil? does anyone have an idea as to what this leak could be??....if u look in front of the front passenger tire thats where all the wetness is??? what should i do?

There most likely is a tranny cooler in your truck, and if there is then it will be on the right side of your radiator (passenger side) so i would assume that the lines run back along the passenger side of your truck. so it sounds like you are right in what you are thinking it could be, i would try to follow the lines back and see where its leaking from, but first and foremost check your tranny fluid level. i would find the area where the oil is the thickest, clean it and then check it again and you should find the leak. hope this helps
