at best it sounds like the front seal might be gone at worst either the front pump is gone or the torqconverter has a cracked neck and has destroyed the front seal.

My bird is also leaking.  Are there any other pink fluids in this thing or is that indicative of transmition fluid (my rad juice is green)?  Is it possible that it is just over flow from someone over filling it (the level seems normal on the dipstick)?
Thanks in advance, smarty-pants.

you MAY also have trans fluid in the power steering system. Some people use that as it's a lot cheaper.
