I can't find the leak. It happens when I start driving. My whole underbody is wet with oil and tranny juice from my prior leaks.
I was backing out of the garage after throwing a couple of clamps on and parked her. I got out to close the garage doors for the night and saw fluid like the tranny pan was dragging flush with the ground, I mean the spill was a foot wide and went a few feet before tapering off.
I picked up a tranny gasket/filter set and am gonna change it out tomorrow. I pray that's the problem. My friend and I tried when I first got the jeep to replace the cooler fitting that goes into the tranny, but the dam thing was rusted on and we started to bend the dam thing. I pray that's not the culprit.
I'll let yall know tomorrow...

before you change the pan gasket and filter fill the trans up with fluid and have someone sit in the truck and start it up and while you are watching from under the car have the hold the brake and put the truck in gear drive and reverse and give it a little gas while they are in gear and hilding the brake and see if you can see if the fluid is comming from the trannie cooler line or the vent on top of the trans or the front pump or the dipstick tube or the transfer case adapter
