looking under the truck I noticed a pipe is leaking or maybe both of them. Is it auto trans pipe or an a/c line? Seems to end in the condenser, other end is so far unknown. At least it seems the pipe leaks, but also on air filter housing bottom and frame there are traces of oil.

Those are your transmission cooler lines the fluid that would be leaking from those should be red

It is dirty, so hard to tell. But I guess the A/C fluid contains some sort of UV dye.

Better get those transmission lines replaced before you burn up the transmission

very simple to replace ...routing the old ones out an new ones in is another story... be prepared to seperate the 2... I had to run the line from the top of the trans from under the truck up to the cooler and the lower line from the trans from the top of the engine bay downward... it might have been because I have a filter relocation kit but it worked out alot easier that way...goodluck and try not to lose the spring loaded clips on the lines that are behind the plastic covers at trans end and up top end they just slip off... ill post pics if i can find some
