Default Leaking Tran fluid, but where from?

I was driving for about 30 minutes at about 90 mph or so, tac was at about 2600 or so. When I stopped I noticed my car smelled funny then I saw the smoke coming out from under the car. Hopped under it and saw something all under the underside of my car. After further inspection I could tell it was Tranny fluid. Put a jack under one side and crawled under it (didn't have the ramps here). Cannot really tell where it is coming from but it is tranny fluid.. Car has 85k on it and it had its 60k maintance done. What could of caused this and any ideas what it could be?

Thanks

could be one of two things


first , with 60k svc did they drop the tranny pan , make sure the nuts are tight but dont overtighten

2 their is a electronic module mounted up on the drivers side of tranny near where the fill tube enters , it leaks from there sometimes
