Default Leaking trans fluid HELP!!

Ok so for about month now I have been leaking something about 2-3 drops a night, smaller then a dime, I always check all my fluids and nothing was ever low so I thought no big deal, I see that there is some fluid around the lower radiator hose, so I just thought I was leaking coolent.

Well today I put the fluid that was on the ground onto a piece of papper towel and then took the trans dip stick out and also put that on the papper towel and a perfect match! so now it has gone to whatever its just coolent to omg its trans fluid!!!!!

It is a 2004 and only has 23k miles on it! and I can not believe something is leaking, anyone know what this could be?? or what I should do? I really cant think of what could be leaking its a damn 04!!(but then agian it is a ford) Oh and it is on the drivers front between the battery and front end of car.... if that helps with anything! plz help!

Thanks

Yeah, sounds like a trans line to the trans cooler.

Nah, depends on what is wrong. Could get expensive real quick though, especially if you dont work on it yourself.

Hmm just makes me mad that something is already leaking, and the trans part scares me!

Also does any1 else feel kind of a thumping ( I dunno how to explain it) but when I am cruising around 30mph and then I tease the car and give it gas and let off I feel like a thump or something, the mechanics at work say it is just the stall converter but I never asked about that yet on here either.
