Default Coolant Leak?? Where is it coming from? *VIDEO UPDATE*

So, I was driving on the highway and noticed my car started to overheat, great way to start off my day. Ended up getting it towed home, and looked under the hood and noticed there was no coolant in the radiator. Filled it back up, and drove it around the block, only to notice it was overheating again. I looked under the car, and there was a leak coming from the tranny, it was leaking coolant from the tranny! What could this possibly be? Rear main seal? I'm lost! This is my DD so I need it back on the road ASAP!

Guys, i took a video, here it is:

I'm pretty sure its not the hoses. From what I saw, looked like there was a crack in the block.

clean/degrease/wipe off every part of the engine and tranny you can....afterwards look for the leak.....check all hoses for rips and tears (is there really a difference??)

I had the same prob. It turned out to be the hoses that ran from the radiator to the motor. I'd check those for any rips.
