So yesterday i got to working on the jeep again, i noticed a nice puddle of transmission fluid on the ground. The puddle has formed right behind the front bumper on the left hand side, i just cant seem to find where the leak is coming from, im hoping its just a loose clamp, does anyone have an idea what it could be, anything helps at this point saying i was up till 2am looking for it. I also noticed it will only leak when it gets to operation temp. It dosnt seem to run hot or anything and i was driving it alot up until a week or so ago and i noticed a leak, but nothing bad until now.

Left hand meaning the driver side? That is where the oem trans cooler lines hook up. If you look down on the back of the radiator, there will be a brass fitting with a hose, and another black hose which both drop down and go over to the passenger side, then back to your trans. Check those, or the tank itself for leaking. Check your radiator fluid to see if it has any tranny fluid in it as well.

What is the best way to get to those lines? It seems like a pretty tight fit.

Take 2 screws out and remove the electric fan.......

Just yesterday I repaired two leaking hoses on my '89. I accessed them easily from below by removing the front skid plate.

See my repair in post #14 here:
