My transmission is leaking i noticed this when i seen smoke from the back
of my jeep it looks like its leaking from the bellhouseing i see it drip
from inside the bellhouse cover and on to the exhaust would this be a
front seal if so how much does a transmission shop charge usually.Also
some of my transmission pan bolts where lose i tightned them up and no
leak there anymore.Thanks for everyones help on this

 

Ninety nine percent of the sixes leak oil at the rear of the valve
cover. Take a rag and wipe the back of the head between it and the
firewall. Drive it around and I'll bet you'll find the rag wet next
time. Replace the gasket. Also there are some blow by tubes that should
check for clogged, pressurizing the crankcase and forcing leaks:

Like Bill said. Also it is real easy to overtighten oil pan and valve cover
bolts. I use a nut driver on them, or the proper torque spec. if I am
ambitious enough to look it up. If you are really leaking transmission
fluid then it will have a red color too. Which engine do you have?

From trying to decipher the OP's post, I read that he has an automatic
tranny since he describes his transmission pan. He didn't describe the color
of the fluid leaking so it's hard to tell whether it is engine oil or ATF,
although if ATF is coming from his valve cover he's got a bigger problem.
:-) FWIW my leak is not coming from the valve cover, I have a bonafide rear
main leak, but it's not too bad for now.
