Question 94 cherokee sport leaking problem

Im fairly new to cherokee's. My 94 cherokee sport 4x4 started leaking and I can find from where. Its leaking behind the front right tire but I dont know what it is. I check the oil level, water level and trans level everyday and it dosnt seem to go down. Can anyone tell me if there is anything there that can leak?

You need to look at what is leaking. Such as water, oil, brake fluid. Before anyone can say where and what is leaking.

Is it just the fact that I haven't had a second cup of coffee and my eyesight is blurry, but for the life of me I can't see that leak from here.

I'm going to guess either a leaky caliper (brake fluid) or a bad axle seal (gear oil). What color is the fluid of this leak you speak of?

Default update

Sorry i haven't responded, been kinda busy. I looked underneath and its kind of hard to find the source, i know that the part that looks the most wet is between the transfer case and the catalytic but I don't know what that part is called, it kind of looks like a little 4x6in box if that makes any sense and it seems to be connected to the catalytic, the fluid that is leaking is clear in color but it feels oily. I'll try to post pictures when I get a chance.

Check your brake fluid. Have your brakes been feeling soft?

Question Update

So its not the brake lines that are leaking, I also did notice that my power steering fluid is a bit low but I dont think that has anything to do with it. I was able to take some pictures of the part I was talking about, could a bad trans pan gasket make this happen?Name:  DSCI1419_zps17b6fdfa.jpg

If you wanna save some $ and time, i would check the TC breather tube before replacing the transmission gasket.
