transmission leaking onto the exhaust

[whynot]

I have trans fluid leaking onto the exhaust. The car smokes after stopping. I found the lines to the cooler leaking, so I cut them off some and put new clamps on. this is near the transmission. 

So my questions are. 

Are these special hoses? I got the largest transmission cooler hose at the parts store and still could not get it on. 

IF the front seal of the automatic trans is leaking, where will it show? or will it?

There is a clean spot on the car near the spin on transmission filter. So I hope it is just the lines that I worked on. 

 

Thanks

Standard trans fluid hoses.  NAPA should have it in stock.

 

Front seal leaks usually come out the front of the transmission at the engine to block split line.
