Re: Unknown fluid leak!
Ok....
Brake fluid under pressure can squirt a long ways, but that will have an effect on the pedal or the fluid level in the reservoir. The lines are outside the frame rails. The pedal should slowly sink under your foot and the fluid in the master must be going down. The brake light is also supposed to come on when it sees a pressure loss in one circuit. You also have a drain for the hood cowl that empties just about middle of the tranny... Mike jerryg wrote: > > Hey Guys, I know its not a spill, I have no carpet in my Jeep.

Re: Unknown fluid leak!
No it has not. I live in northern Illinois were we have no rain or
snow! It is oil. I am going to get a bottle of brake fluid and compare the odor. I am baffled!!! Its right under the seat belt anchors on the floor. They are soaked with oil. I have no idea where it would be coming from. Thanks again everyone!

Re: Unknown fluid leak!
By the way, what function does the hood cowl drain serve. This is new
to me. I am learning a great deal on this forum and I love it. By the way, just changed both differential fluids and did the transfer case change as well. This from a guy who normally took all his stuff to jerky lube. Never again! Thanks. Greg jerryg wrote: > No it has not. I live in northern Illinois were we have no rain or > snow! It is oil.
