I have a 93" jeep cherokee.

I just seen today its leaking red fluid from the front left side.

I looked under and its coming from some sort of skid plate or something..

Would this red fluid be power streering or ATF?

Also, are jeep known for leaking from this and is it a must fix?

How are you looking at it to say the left side?Are you standind at the front bumper?

Its proly tranny fluid and yes I would fix it asap.

from the front

mike albo

That is most likely your tranny cooler lines and yes you need to fix it.Just keep an eye on your tranny fluid level really close until you do get it fixed.

Is it thick or watery? It might be coolent thats the only thing i can think of up in the front of the jeep. andd it looks like its running down the skid and dripping of it.

kinda thick.. if i check it from the groud. but its watery from the skid plate.

whould this be a hose ? could i fix it my self?

mike albo

Look at the cooler lines are they soft if so yes replace them.And you can do it your self.Just take your time.

I would start that sucker up, get a flashlight and try to see where the fluid is coming from. My .02 cents.

Coolant would be green. It could be power steering fluid from the pump that is running across the skid plate and dripping, or transmission fluid leaking from the lines to the radiator.

Mine is now leaking red fluid from the front left (driver side) and it's power steering fluid. It's all over that side of the skid and dripping. Check your hoses. Have someone turn the wheel when it's running.
