I'm guessing she ran over something and banged up the transmission.

We need more details.

You might have to crawl under her (the truck, not your gf) and find if its leaking from the front, side, back of the transmission. Does it look like it has hit something? Is the transmission pan missing? Bolts loose? Etc........

It could be a leak in the pan, cooler lines or the cooler itself.

You might have to add more trans fluid - have you checked the fluid level in the trans?? It appears from your post that there is not enough left in the trans to leak out. I'd add at least 1 gallon of the appropriate ATF fluid. Block all 4 wheels, put the transmission in park, set the parking brake and put the transfer case in neutral to ensure that the truck will not move with the engine running.

Wearing proper eye protection open the hood and start the engine - inspect the cooler lines, connections and cooler for leaking fluid. If none are detected climb under vehicle and inspect the trans pan and cooler lines and connections.
