Unknown Liquid Drip?

[AmishElectrician]

Ok I'm trying to diagnose a drip but the location and color have me confused. Its dripping off the transmission bell just above the engine oil plug but the color is more a milky yellow? I have a check engine light that appeared the same time its showing a p456 which is an evap emissions slow leak which to be honest I have 0 understanding of. I've checked the canister which is located above this leak but I see no leaks on the top side of the engine at all. It's possible this leaks originating elsewhere since there seems to be a but if a trail on the top side if the engine oil pan but any areas of ficus would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Probably unconnected but I had to replace my condenser fan just a month ago.

What I can see in the first picture, it looks like anti-freeze. Any heater hoses or heater connections running in the area above the drip? If you have courage you can take a tiny bit of it and taste it - if it's sweet then it's anti-freeze. Remember your tasting poison be very very careful and take just the tiniest bit of it.

Same here, looks like coolant.

Check your freeze plugs or pressure test the coolant system

Probably one of the transmission cooler lines. They're ridgid steel tubing that on some trucks rub on stuff and get holes in them. May have to pull out a wheel well liner to get a good look. Seen it a few times on 3rd gens.

On the 06-08 the coolant is hoat and is orange, that may be watery oil, check your oil to see if it looks like a milkshake. Or you have the wrong coolant in there.
