Default HELP! Identifying a leak.......

Hey guys I went on a trailride yesterday and ended up getting stuck pretty bad, as I was winching out I saw some oil dripping on the mud, didnt think much of it. On the way home the tranny failed a couple times like popping out of gear. At home I turned the motor on and it was leaking like crazy, I took pics of where it is leaking from, i have no clue what it is i just need some advice on what to do. What to replace?

Looks like the lines running to the transmission cooler. Your tranny acted up because it was likely running out of fluid. You need to fix them before driving it

Looks like you crushed the tranny lines.Your upper control arm hit it.Replace the lines before you do alot more damage to the tranny.

fix the lines, You should be able to cut the crushed pieces out and use a piece of high pressure transmission rubber hose. Pushed onto the metal hose about 2-3" on each side and double clamped.

Rather than use rubber hose to fix the lines.
you can get a Union/ferrels its brass,

Cut the lines and remove crushed section and bend the lines to make them reach each end and install a union on each line.
It will be a permanent fix.

After you fix it I would move the line up and out of the way of the control arm so it don't happen again.
