Default Transmission fluid hoses

The hose from the radiator came disconnected. The radiator end is still on, where does the other end go? It's a rubber hose. The clamp isn't near the end of it. Could the guys who just put in a radiator have hooked it up but didn't close the clamp properly? I've driven around 200 miles with no problem. The other day, I pulled into a parking space, got out and saw fluid all over the tires and a puddle of the reddish fluid forming under the back of the car. A trail of it began leaking in the parking lot. No problem shifting it into park, turning it off and she starts up again no problem.

The other end goes directly to the transmission.

You keep driving like that you're going to cook your transmission, STOP driving until the problem is fixed!

The bottom of the radiator has two rubber hoses connected to it, about 3/8” dia. They are the ATF inlet and outlet lines They connect to two metal lines coming from the transmission. Use the length of the disconnected hose to help you find the metal line it is supposed to connect to. The clamp may may present. If not, buy an appropriate size hose clamp.
