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.

First thing I'd do is clean off all the oil and traces.
Driving along, even a small drip from the oil pan can wind up stuck
to the back bumper. I had a "teeny" leak in the transmission cooler
line (on the radiator).. had ATF fluid as far back as the trailer
hitch. :/

Drains off water that runs down the windsheld. The cowell is also where
the vents are for fresh air. On the ZJ if you lift the plastic covering
you can see the intakes. It's also a good place to put the alarm siren.
