Transmission Coolant Leak - Is this liquid dangerous?

Late last night, I had a line break (somehow) as I was driving and I lost all my transmission fluid (huge puddle once I pulled over) - had the car towed to the dealer last night, and checked it in this morning.

My question is, the liquid leaked all over the engine bay and the front bumper, even got on the rear bumper while it was being towed.

Should this be something to be cleaned posthaste? I'm not sure how damaging it is to have tranny coolant fluid all over the car until the tube is in and replaced on Wednesday.

You mean ATF? I wouldn't want to leave it on there long. Especially in MIA and if the car is a dark color . Not sure what the sun would do ,but I wouldn't want to chance it.
