Probably under your 3/36 if you're under 36 and got it IN 2004 and not 2003.....

Did you install any afternarket Tranmission coolers yourself (non-dealer installed)??

The "red fluid" might even be coolant unless it has the color of read wine , then it's likely tranny fluid.

It's 3 years or 36,000 miles. Which ever comes first. Unless you bought some sort of an extended warrenty.
