Default Im bad at this

Ok so I admit I'm super bad at taking pictures and posting up my progress lol but I'll try a little harder. hereis where im at now..,...
I had an oil leak all over the front of my jeep and the bumper so i took it all apart to see what it was....seems like it was Tranny fluid...I took out the part next to the radiator that cools the fluid and cleaned it up and tightened up all the connections...seems like that did the job...all good now ....
