Possible Transmission Line leak?!

Hello everyone!

I just spent about an hour on my original post, submitted it, then lost it because I was logged out by the time I was done. So, I'm going to make this one short, sweet, and straight to the point.

-2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee V6 RWD
-About 5 days ago, I noticed (what appeared to be) an oil leak under the car on the Driver's side
-Also noticed red transmission fluid on the pan underneath my car
-Assuming it's a transmission leak rather than an oil leak
-I did a visual inspection between my engine and the radiator and in front of the radiator just behind the grill--It appears the leak is coming from one of the 2 hoses. I have not had time to remove the grill in front or the pan underneath to get a better visual inspection or clean the area to get a better idea of where the leak is actually coming from
-I did take a video (I was trying to get a P/N on the hose I think is suspect, so excuse the extra time I'm examining that hose). The video link: https://youtu.be/yDtbVLZu2Nw
-(Not sure if this is related): About 2 months ago--I noticed that while hitting the gas going uphill and hit around 4000rpm, there was a very small puff of smoke that I saw come up from under the hood on the driver's side. Assuming it's the leaking fluid burning.
-I've also noticed that I have this low rumble that lasts about 1-2 seconds shortly after I start driving in the morning, and it seems as if my transmission is having problems shifting up when I'm driving at slow speeds.

-(Another something I need advice on--which I'm 99% sure is unrelated): I hit a tire jack--or what appeared to be a jack--on the freeway about 4 months ago. The car in front of me dodged it last second, so my car fell victim to the huge chunk of metal in my lane. It ended up hitting the lower part of my grill (the plastic part) and made a nice divot in my (I think?!) Air condenser. I haven't had any problems with my AC, but If I'm going to take the front part of my jeep apart for repairs, I'd like to replace that part as well.

So.. With all of that, if anyone has any advice on any of this, I'd greatly appreciate you helping me out. I haven't personally done any work on my car and really, a jeep in general. I do think the leak will be something I can do on my own as long as it's just replacing the hose and related parts--the air condenser may be a different story.

Alright guys, thanks for taking time to read this. Please let me know what you think!
