I'll check them but, If that was the case wouldn't I see it more as the jeep
warms up and gets more water pressure?

Thanks,

Bill

BTW, it looked like it came from "Inside" the bell housing. At the bottom
there's like a one inch rectangular gap that the water fell from. Now what
do you think?

Thanks,

I really don't freaking believe it!

Man oh man, what kind of choice for quality do you have down there for
competent repairs?

Bill, I feel sorry for you.

Check the back corner of the head for a coolant leak. Just start it up
and put a piece of paper towel down around the back of the head to block
joint by the firewall to see if it comes up wet.

It is possible a casting/freeze plug has started to leak. There are two
located behind the flywheel. Getting to them require removing the engine
so check everything else first.

Lots of things look like they come from the bell housing, including oil
leaks from the valve cover that look like a leaking rear main seal.

Dry all the hose connections and start the engine flex each hose around the
clamps if there is a small leak it will be real easy to spot. Check for
real soft hoses, soft spots, or bulges in the hose.

Yes, but with the engine running what sprays out can evaporate or get
blown all over by the engine fan. When the engine is turned off the
remaining pressure starts the leak. Some evaporates, some runs back.
