Wrangler TJ: Leaking Fluid Identification
Changed my automatic trans fluid today.
Wish I had read the posting about using a cheap foil disposable oven
pan to catch the fluid *before* I got trans fluid all over my driveway.
Anyhow, noticed a fluid leak. I'm no gear-head, so I can't determine
what part I was looking at.
The leak came from a spot roughly halfway (actually a bit closer to the
front of the vehicle) between my automatic trans pan, and the oil drain
plug. There's a round big metal semi-circlular part that's got fluid
dripping off it.
Ideas/guidance?
Thx,
Oliver

Re: Wrangler TJ: Leaking Fluid Identification
Front transmission seal, or rear engine seal. How much leakage? Catch some
with a paper towel, and try to figure out whether it has red in it, or not.
