That's not a good place to be leaking. Sounds like it could be a freeze out plug.

freeze plug, head gasket or a crack. get a mirror and flash light to see if you can
tell where it's coming from and can see the problem

Yea. Either way, coming from the back of the engine is the worst place to have a coolant leak.
While I'm a ford truck guy, admittedly, the biggest issue with them is overheating.
OP, if you can find the leak, we can help you fix it. Probably going to be a big job though

all the mazda made transmissions are junk including the F series. my f-250 is in the
trans shop after 6 months on a rebuilt. the old FMX and c6 transmissions were
indestructible

Sounds like a classic case of radiator overheating causing the water pump tubes to go into overdrive pushing extreme loads of psi through the transmission and I have no fucking idea what I'm talking about

if you fill your truck up and run it does it idle well? or is it rough?

I havnt tried yet, but i did get this pic. Seems to be the source of my leak.





Im not sure if it's a hose or the T...

Im also a bit confused... If it is a cracked T or a loose how, why did it look like someone dumped a bucket of coolant over my engine?

Another thing, when i was changing out my tranny fluid i noticed the coolant was dripping. It was close to something like 1 drip every 10-15 secs. The following morning is when my truck puked.

Is the T easy to switch out? Im going to try and remove it tomorrow morning and take it to few auto part stores so i can try and find the right size.

Also, i accidentally grabbed this coolant in a hurry...

Yea. It's all easy to switch out. Get a picture of the entire engine and one close up of the "t" so we can identify it for you. Cause those fat black bitches at the parts store won't know.
On the antifreeze, it looks like it will work. But I would take it back and get something made for gas engines. It will be cheaper.
And if you don't get it premixed, be sure to mix it 50t50 with water

I was told to run just water after the repair for a couple days.

that is false. people will do that if they are unsure of the repair. dont do this. vehicles need the 50/50 mix

also, i have never used that coolant you bought and would suggest taking it back and getting the regular coolant. or the mixes with anything coolant.

while you are at the parts store, get some new hose clamps as well.
