Car leaking, need help

The car is leaking a LOT of fluid. It’s pink and watery in texture, its dark, so I can’t see where it’s coming from, but I would assume its transmission fluid. I just wanted to verify with you guys because I’ve never seen transmission fluid, as embarrassing as that is

Also, can I drive on it without damage as I have to get to work in the morning, and the dealer usually takes a week to get into ...
And what the hell would cause this anyway? And do you know how much fluid it holds?

Thanks!!

Tranny oil is red, would appear kind of pink in a small puddle. Could also be power steering fluid.

I agree. Before you drive it, check your tranny and PS fluid. If you can't tell where its coming from, put a big piece of cardboard under your car after you drive it, it will be more evident than asphalt.

I have never had a leak myself, so I'm no expert, but to answer your question, I'm sure you can't drive it like that. You could put some in to get where you need to go, but that's about it.
