ugh.... It's not leaking enough to cause me to go through oil. Just a few drips here and there. Sounds like a PITA to do.

 

Here is the how to, http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoRearMain.htm

It was a major PITA.

 

Same problem so I'm saveing this.

 

ive been having problems with my jeep transmission, and decided to search for forums and stumbled on this site. i rebuilt the engine a year ago and drove it, transmission leaked, went to fix it found a line was loose at the quick disconnect and from the bellhousing, fixed both then replaced transmission and seal once again, still leaked from the bellhousing... then replaced torque converter out of a parts jeep i had, ran for 7 months and it started again... i am clueless of what the problem is and would grewatly appreciate some help pr pointers

 

I have a bad leak to in the same spot, drips from the same bolt but the fluid looks more like motor oil. I was going to replace the rear main seal and oil pan gasket but now i dont know if thats the right move.

 

i fill my trans fluid up almost everyday. idk where it goes i see a small leak from it up by the motor side but no where else! any idea what it could be??

 

It could be time to start your own thread instead of dragging up something that was started in 2008 and was last updated in 2013.

In fact, I'm quite sure it is.



Here is where to find the date of a post.

 

thanks for that. i knew it was a old post but i believe i am having the same issue as well... good day sir

 

I would look at the lines that run the from the passenger side of the transmission, forward along the pass side of the engine oil pan. Sometimes the clips wear through the lines and they leak. You can buy the entire replacement line, or repair what you have using either some rubber line and hose clamps or some new tube and compression fittings.

 

I have exactly the same issue with my 99 thought it was the front seal of the tranny replace and fixed still leaking now thinking was the rear main but still have good oil pressure and not leaking oil and now trans is slipping so not oil leaking but tranny leaking so long story short going to hange trans pan gasket and filter you say and see where that takes me

 

This post is old, so you should probably start your own post. In fact, you are the second person who has done this on this post as shown by the quote above.
