Wrangler TJ: Leaking Fluid Identification

Oct 16, 2005 2 Replies

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 '01 TJ



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.
