It could be anything, but I suspect the water pump.

Open the hood and look. I can't see your Jeep from here.

That's the thing though I tried that it only leaks after I drive it and after I drive it when I go to look its basically leaking from everything traces of it are on the oil pan, the transmission line coming from the radiator, there is even a small trace of radiator fluid coming from the top under the upper radiator I suspect a blown head gasket but I was told that that wouldn't cause me to leak radiator fluid and it only smokes white smoke when I have the ac on other than that it doesn't smoke, I've been told if it was the head that the fluid would mix with the transmission fluid and or the oil I checked both and there's no sign of water in either the only things that don't show traces of fluid leaking is the upper and lower radiator hoses I replaced both of them anyways where about is the water pump located so I can check it and what would be a good way to test it and see if that is in fact the problem?

Get off your cellphone or use punctuation! If you replaced your upper radiator hose, the bottom end goes into the water pump. If you can't tell where it's leaking, take it to someone who can. We don't have crystal ***** (lol) so we can't see your jeep from here.

Fill it with water. Start it and let it run till you see the leak. You may have to get under it.

I beg your pardon, but I WAS trying to help, but your post was very hard to read and was very vague, like you hadn't ever opened the hood. We get a lot of people like that and I assumed you were one of them. I'm not going to apologize.

BTW, I don't do social media.
