transmission
 

my 97 grand cherokee dumped all of it's transmission fluid on the ground
this morning as I left the house. It appears to be coming out in the area
of the left front wheel well. Any ideas what broke?

Re: transmission
 

That could be a broken cooler line. Or a pressure leak pissing it up
there.

I would recommend you actually stick your head under there to see where
it is coming from. It could be a $5.00 fix or the tranny shop could
sell you a whole new tranny because you don't know where the leak is.
Shops tend to take advantage of folks that say 'it's broke, fix it'.

Sounds like a broken cooler line to the radiator. Don't drive it, repair
the line and refil.

Usually that lead is your power steering hose. It is very rare for
the transmission O ring to give up, except with radiator change.
