Check to see if the lines go to a trans cooler or to the radiator. They sound like cooling lines. If they are, they need replaced. Often times they rust and leak. For some reason, I am seeing a lot of the 98 and newer Ford products rusting on the underside. Other than that, there shouldn't be any that go to the transfer case or an overflow.
