Leaking 3 different fluids!

Ok, so i put on my new oil pan, made sure the gaskets fit right and everything. Then today, i notice 3 different puddles under my car! One is OIL, the other is TRANS FLUID, and the last is ANITFREEZE!! What is going on? I checked the oil pan bolts, and they were all dry and oil free. What is goin on here? Where do I start looking?

Clean the engine thoroughly. Start it and allow it to reach operating temperature. Inspect for leaks. Anything leaking should be apparent. There are no places in, on, or around the engine that one leak would produce oil, transmission oil, and antifreeze puddles.

If you had a newer car with an engine oil cooler in the radiator, I'd guess you may have a catastrophic failure of the radiator but that would by in front of the engine, not under it.
