Trans fluid or transfer case leaking. Could be blood, your jeep may be depressed and decided to start cutting itself. My advice is to get it dirty so it's happy again, and never wash it again.

I noticed it in front of my front drivers wheel well. It looked like a lot but I don't think it's dripping.

Check your tranny fluid, if it's low, you could burn up the tranny, that equals big$$$
