I was going to drive my wife to the airport and noticed a red puddle of liquid that has spilled out from under the car. It is dark out now and I am planning on taking a closer look and hopefully be able to see something. Not sure if you are able to know what this problem is.

the red fluid is transmission fluid, you will have to park it somewhere then jack it up and look directly above the puddle and find out where it is coming from. check your tranny cooler hoses or around the pan's gasket.
