The black flat object at the water pump is the trans cooler and the lines are between it and engine.

While there are not many failures with instances of leaks between fluid and water, be aware that the radiator hose connections are notorious for rusting through--sometimes to the extent the hose is about all holding the pipe together.

If you remove it or change hoses, be extra careful not to pull or twist on them until you see the condition. Better to slit or cut them off if you can.
