can't find leak
 

I have a 1996 jeep Cherokee with automatic transmission. I have a problem
that occurs only when I drive up a very steep grade for a long period of
time. I’m leaking transmission fluid that gets on the exhaust system. I
leak no fluid when I drive on level or slight grades. It never leaks fluid
where it is parked. It doesn’t seem like it leaking from rear seal. Has
anyone have any ideas where the leak could be coming from.

Thanks

Re: can't find leak
 

Check the transfer case rear output seal.
The case contains tranny fluid,if it drips on the output shaft it gets thown
onto the pipes.

Sounds like you're getting the tranny hot pulling the hills, and it's
spitting excess fluid out the vent tube. Check your fluid level and
try pulling it back out of overdrive in the hills.
