Red stuff leaking out under car all over??

When i got my car i seen on teh frame and motor that their was some oil on it. but it wasnt really dripping. Well i only put like 300 miles on it since i got it and the oil leak was getting a little worse leaving l;ittle spots under it. Well now last time i drove it i parked it and notaced it was leaking alot. Well i looked under it today and its all over all under the motor is covered and all teh way to teh back to it ran down the frame. But i touched it "and" its oil and red stuff. I think its mostly teh red stuff thats leaking. Whats the red stuff and where is my leaks coming from probably?

auto transmission fluid

n whys it comin out?

probably a bad gasket somewhere, or your drain plug isnt tight enough

tranny fluid for sure..   Check by your axles where they go into the tranny..

tranny...check ur gaskets and plugs...

could it be from shifting it like a manual? I run it to about 5-6000 b4 shiftin.

yes. dont do that

how can it be bad. If its so bad theirs no way they would give you that option on a auto car. And theirs no way its close to the  same as shifting a manual with out the clutch

first off, shifting a manual without the clutch is bad for your transmission, second off, the cars that come with the sporttronic shifting option are made to be shifted like that. your automatic is made to shift on its own. manually shifting an automatic creates unnessicary heat and wear on the transmission fluid and transmission itself

how much it cost to turn it into a manual with a clutch?

much more then its worth, youd prolly be lookin to spend at least 5 grand if your gonna do it yourself

They really only give you those other gears for situational purposes..  Not to shift like a manual..

what if i keep it in first all the time? wont it shift to second on its own wonce the rpm goes to high?
 

no! first is for first gear only, it will only stay in first gear. its used for going up hills and if you were to tow something (which you should never do with your car btw) second is also for areas where you would frequently need first gear (such on hilly roads and such) it shifts between first and second need be but has no direct drive (3rd) gear. drive allows it to switch through all gears (1st 2nd and drive [3rd]) and is made for typical driving. im sure the rest are self explanitory. your transmission (and your engine, but i wont go there) are not made to be raced. your car is made to be a fuel efficient dailly driver. driving it how you explained to us that you do is not only wrong, but it is also going to cause it to break down very often, as you have seen with your transmission springing a leak. its obvious you care about trying to make your car look nice, now start caring a little bit about trying to keep it running

um, wow lol

Well I had it in 2nd gear a few times and I hit a high rpm and it shifted into 3rd on its own while the thing was still in the second gear spot. 
 
And them funny cars that are putting out thousands of hp are automatics and they shift it why can they do that and not hurt any thing?

DUDE. get it through your head. your car is not made to handle anywhere near 1000 hp. neither is your transmission. if you shift it like a manual and shift it at 6000 rpm's you WILL f*ck something up. and if you had your car in 2nd gear and it shifted into 3rd on its own, there are 2 explanations to that. either a, you think 2nd gear is actually 3rd gear, or b, your tranny is already effed up. quit drivin the thing like a ricer, your car is not fast and is not made to be raced around like that. if you want a fast car, go buy a gst or gsx. or if your gonna keep abusing it like you do, then go get a honda. but for gods sake, quit rice-shifting your auto like a f*ckin manual and treat it like the daily-driver gas-saver that it is

hmmm hindas are ugly. Kinda like this rice car thats sittin in my yard

What if i keep it in drive and floor it to 60 to keep it hitting a high rpm. will that be better than shifting it?

Uuh... yeah?

dude are you seriously asking these questions? or are you just ****ing with us

idk. Heres a real question. Well found the gasket all it was, was one gasket only got bad from age. Now im tryin to sell it for $2500 or trade for a manual. Any one want to trade? Because I cant stand an auto
 

After knowing these litttle details... selling it on here is about as likely as you growing a vagina any time soon

hes right but probley blew the front pump seal in tranny.
