XC 70 leaking

I need some words of wisdom from you before I take my car to the stealership. I just looked on the floor of my garage and on the passenger side I found quite a big puddle of reddish liquid. The passenger side of the car's undercarriage seems to be covered with this liquid, too. I cannot see where it is leaking from. I am assuming that it is the transmission oil. Am I correct? Any ideas where it is coming from? I will appreciate any input.

Thank you.
Ta-ta, j.

Sounds like the top hose from the power steering pump to the reservoir. Check the area where the hose is clamped at the tank. Wet?

The hoses get spongy after a few years (mine was 6 years old). Dealer item, around $85.00. Fill to the mark with 3309 tranny fluid.
