Default Tranny Fluid Leak(Spraying)

Hey guys, i got an 1994 jeep cherokee inline 6, 4.0, automatic tranny. I've had tranny problems in the past, and trans shop told me to put new speed sensor on. So i did that and it worked fine. Also did trans filter and pan gasket. Then it sat for a couple of months until today. I drove it to work and whole way spedometer didnt work. then on my break, i noticed there was a puddle of tranny fluid under the jeep. so i wiped it all off to find where it was leaking. couple hours later, i checked and nothing. Then drove it home, and got out and looked and there was tranny fluid dripping of tranny support bracket,all along pan, on the speed sensor wires.

So is the trans pan under pressure to where it would spray tranny fluid while driving?
Any other ideas?
thanks

You need to determine where it is coming from. Hoses, pan, fill tube, seals front and rear. could be any of those.

Thats why im trying to eliminate the pan first by finding out if it is capable of spraying the fluid all over while driving

Pan leak shouldn't spray, but a hose will.... The wind from driving can cause any leak to be sprayed. I suggest your put the jeep up on stands. Then with the jeep running and in gear get under it and look for the leak.

Check the jeep up on stands. Think it might be coming from a hose if it's spraying.
