Default Transmission Leaking?

First off, i'm going to say I know very little about this stuff but I was wondering if you could help.

My transmission appears to be leaking. Its been doing it ever since I had a new engine put in over a year ago. Its not a big leak, its more of a random drip. Anyways.. the drip seems worst at acceleration..

Its on the passenger side of the transmission somewhere. Is there a vent or a line that would be loose around there causing this? I just thought i'd check it out before it was any worse then it is.

The cooler lines are on the passenger side of the trans. Sounds like someone flexed them while doing the engine replacement and may have cracked/broken something.

Followup:
Took it up a snowy pass with bad tires, spun the tires really fast, fluid dripped faster, hit the exhaust and caught the blazer on fire.

Luckily I was in snow, so a few minutes of shoveling and it was out. Let it cool down and drove it home after a few hours. Fixed the lines the next day. They were rubber lines on the passenger side from the trans to engine bay area.


Moral:
Fix **** before it catches you on fire.
