Any trans cooler lines are using rubber hoses if the owners installs a tranny cooler. So your rubber lines must be too large of a diameter. Try taking one off and measure the metal tubing and then buy the appropriate sized rubber tubing to replace your leaking rubber hoses.

Do you hear banjos?
Trans operating pressure is relatively low so you should be able to get that squared away pretty easy. Like Blue said, check out all the hoses and see if you can spot the problem. First thing I would do is get some Engine Bright and go to town on that thing. It will make life a lot easier to find the leak and fix it, It's a lot easier to work on a clean Jeep than a nasty one!! Just my $.02, hope it helps!!

Exhaust is definitely a good source of HP, getting a 4.0 throttle body is also a bonus..The TB spacer may not generate any real HP but what it will do in theory is generate a tornado type affect with the intake of air which in theory should equate to better torque and throttle response and likely more noticeable on a 2.5 then a 4.0. Another trick which costs some bucks is porting and polishing the head and port matching the intake and exhaust manifolds to the head...will create better flow but again costs some bucks..
