LEAK, orange fluid discovered on floor

Leaving for vacation on the 18th, will be towing a 8k trailer from PA to MO.
Discovered a orange fluid on the garage floor after truck sat for a week. I am willing to bet it is anti-freeze. There was about 2oz of the fluid on the floor. It seems to be coming off the bell housing, just to the rear of the oil pan. Truck is an 06 Mega with the CTD and 12k in miles.

Can anyone offer any help??

take a look at the thread 53 ******* listed. It will take you about a minute to fix and save your truck from an all day visit at the dealer. There are some great pictures posted at that bottom of that thread.
