Maintenance/Repairs

I was driving down the freeway and my truck started driving rough. Pulled over and saw transmission fluid dripping out everywhere. It went everywhere. It even managed to get on the tailgate and the outside of the rear wheels. I’m pretty sure one of the cooling lines went out. The dripping is on the passenger side where the lines run and the fluid came out really fast.

I’m wondering if there is a trick to get the lines disconnected from the transmission. I ant find a video or guide on it. The lines run to the top of the transmission, but I can’t see where and I don’t think there will be enough space to get my hands to where the lines connect. Any advice would be great. A video would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

Also I’m pretty sure its a 4L60E tranny and it has an auxiliary radiator in front of the main one.
