I noticed some oil leaking from above the front of the transmission about a month ago and today I sent back under to just check it out and noticed it leaking a little worse now. Any ideas on what it could be? I took a short video with my phone. I'm thinking a turbo line but not sure if I should fix or just use this opportunity to swap for a 2015 turbo.

After researching some I am leaning maybe more towards a coolant leak. The fluid did look lighter then oil and it at the bottom of the transmission it seemed kinda thick and gummy.

That looked to be it. It was wet around the fitting on the turbo. Now Getting the Wire to pop out the nut was a royal pain. I ended up sharpening a mini flat head screw driver then bending it in some to hook the wire and pull it off. If not for the nut I'd of been done in an hour and a half. Over all it took about 2 and a half hours. I even filtered the coolant when I refilled it. Thanks guys for all the help.
