I just had my right front axle replaced, and now I'm leaking reddish oil under my car. Could it be from the axle or perhaps the transmission?

Yes it could. Are you low on trans fluid or power steering fluid? They might not have cleaned up their mess when they replaced the axle.

Most common source is axle seals, they should always replace axle seal when changing CV axles.
