Very Peculiar ATF leak

Topic starter

Scotty,

I recently changed out my intake manifold gasket on my 2001 Toyota Corolla with 135k miles. In doing so, I disconnected some air hoses and lines so that I could move the throttle body enough to get the manifold out and slide in the new gasket, put it back together and the car seemed to run great.

After driving a few hours I lifted the hood to find that my throttle body and part of the engine cover had a small layer of Automatic Transmission Fluid on it. 

Any clue on why there would be ATF in such a peculiar place? 

Thanks,

Phill Toomasian

It would pretty much have to be spraying on there from the leak location. (I once had a leaky transmission cooler hose do that.)
