Only thing thats red is the transmission fluid. Oil can look redish. Check the timing chain cover, thats a common leak.

Its usually just a clamp if it is the cooler, first check to see if you even have a tranny cooler before you go blaming it. If thats what it turns out to be, the worst case scenerio is buying a new cooler which is $50-60 with new lines.
