2004 lexus rx300 AWD transmission leak - help!
i recently bought a 2004 lexus rx300 with 113K miles on it. Car runs really well,but i noticed a leak by the transmission oil cooler line where the hose connects to the actually cooler. the metal inlet that connects to the hose was corroded so i replaced it. Hoping i was done, i still payed close attention to any leaks under the vehicle and am noticing a leak in another area. The link below shows the image of black seal line that connects to metal pieces that i think is the transmission. I am hoping it is a quick fix but want to know what everyones thoughts are. the picture is near the exhaust line directly under the engine area of my car.
I have attached 2 pictures that may make it easier ti diagnose the issue.
this may just be ignorance, but could it just be leaking because when i got the transmission cooler replaced they refilled the transmission fluid and they may have overfilled it? If that is not the case, what happens when transmission fluid is overfilled?

Hard to tell exactly where the leak is coming from. Wipe clean. Check again daily. If it comes back, monitor for exactly how much fluid is leaking. If it's a lot, get it fixed ASAP. My guess is your pan or gasket is leaking a bit. They would be hard pressed to over fill. Check your levels. They could have spilled though as it is hard to get the funnel to the intake tube lined up some times.
