I think I found the leak. It seems to be leaking at the trans end where the two skinny pipes bolt on or is there any where else around this area that could leak?????

well there's quite a few places it can leak from really...are you possitive it's trans fluid thats leaking this time and not power steering?(same dex lll) because the high pressure hoses of the power steering are nearer to the exhaust than any return pipes from the trans cooler in the radiator.
if you can get you car on a hoist or even on ramps it will probably be easier to pin-point the leak.

Tighten up the clamps on all your hoses. I actually installed a second clamp on all my auto trans hoses to prevent leaks.

kick down cable seals get really hard with age and crack it could be leaking form there, could be your trans cooler lines arent tightened enough, could be your trans pan gasket, could be your steering rack, could be anything....
