Nope. not at all. which is surprizing because it is everywhere. the only thing it could really be is the front tranny seal. considering the past threads. there isnt a chance its external is there??

Here is another thing... my Oil Pressure Gauge bounces back and forth from 40 at idle to 80 interstate.. thats why i figured it was oil.. i still belive its oil.. only because im stubborn and have it set in my head that it is.

But then again.. I KNOW its not oil. My level hasn't dropped for 3 days of leaking like I said.. if you watched the movie a couple posts back it'll show that mud has a chance to submerged the tranny... clogging the breather hose.. I just went and blew a bunch of junk out of it hopefully that's the reason its gear oil possibly blowing out of the front seal because it can't breath and hense the reason it only leaks when I go above 40. If that doesn't help I'm thinking its the front seal on the tranny. It can be nothing else. As for the oil pressure.... I don't know. Maybe a bad gauge? Not sure. But that's the least if my worries if I can get this leak to stop, ill be alright till next week when something else goes wrong.. gotta love a jeep
