Found out my transmission is leaking...and I have NO idea how to fix it.

My tranny was whining every time I was in second gear (way louder than normal).

I got underneath and it was leaking fluid. I was driving pretty high altitude today (about 8000msl, normally I'm around 5000msl). Could you help me figure out what's wrong with it? I can send you pictures as needed. It's a 5-speed manual tranny.

PS I've copied and pasted this a few times over the forum, I'm pretty desperate. PM me if you think you can help.

rear differential... removed the RuffStuff cover, cleaned everything up good and RTV it back on(super grey), put in Detroit recommended gear oil for truetrac.

I now have NO LEAKS!

cut and roll'd rear fenders.
kept up with the grinder and removed jagged metal from rock rails and rear bumper, sanded them, and repainted them.

vacuumed the entire interior (first time in over a year) sorted thru the glove box and removed 'junk'.
added ne floor matts with big ol' Betty Boop graphics up front... LOL!

heading to the car wash in a couple minutes.

I torched out the front axle and the bellhousing, then dropped the transmission after torching the crossmember, and I removed the front clip and radiator.

I'm thinking of driving up on it with the MJ later, before the scrap guy comes to pick it up!!!!!! w00t!

Diagnosed my coolant leak and planned for fix tomorrow - hardbrushed all the rusty areas to get ready for a protectant, and prepped to rip out the carpetting and make plans for replacing the rusty floorboards and rockers soon.

^ And that's why jeeps rape face.

As for me, I topped off my tranny fluid, just to find out it's still making this god-awful whine.

My pops has an '01 ram (I think that's the year) 1500 with steel front and back bumpers.

I tap him, he gets behind me. He taps me. I squirt him (broken parts FTW!) with my broken back washer.

Yes, I like it broken.
