Re: 95 jeep grand cherokee transmission leak
Ok i was coming home today going about 55 on the parkway and there was the
smoke alot of it to,so i pulled over there was transmission fluid on the
bellhousing back it was over the pan and part of the transfer case.I wiped
everything with a rag yesterday and i still see red fluid driping from the
bellhousing on to the exhaust i guess this is where the smoke is coming
from.Would this be a front seal or what would cause this. thanks for
everyones help so far

It could be, or it could be a leak in the transmission cooler lines if
you have one. Also check the transmission dipstick to make sure it hasn't
come loose. If the transmission is overfilled it can foam up and come out
the dipstick then run down. How is your fluid level?
The front seal can leak but it's not very common. That seal is in the
center between the transmission and torque converter. No real way to
know what it looks like without dropping the transmission.

Re: 95 jeep grand cherokee transmission leak
Bell housing sounds like a front seal indeed. Just to prepare you for the
worst, bad seals often signal problems with their associated bearings. Hope
that isn't the case. If you are dripping on the exhaust your vehicle could
catch fire. I have had that happen, and it can change your whole day. :o(
Other causes of a bad front seal could be cracked flex plate, torque
converter bolts loose, or seal just plain worn out. Unless you have a
transmission jack handy and a fairly well equipped garage, this is a job for
a commercial mechanic service.
Good luck.

Re: 95 jeep grand cherokee transmission leak
Just to get by could i put some exhaust heat wrap where it leaks so it wont
catch fire.Im taking it to cottman transmission on weds to find out the
problem they said they would check it for free.They said it would be 329
dollars to fix the seal,i pray the seal is just worn out.
thanks everyone for your help
