What's REALLY leaking pretty good is power steering fluid. I'm sure it's a hose or connector. The box itself is new. There's a little leakage in my transmission return line. Not enough to spot, but enough to run down the line. RMS could stand to be changed, too, but it's not bad. Nothing that pools up under the car.

Well hopefully it's not bad but I think there's a little oil leaking. I can just smell it burning when I get out of the jeep. Seems like a little residue on the block and underneath a little too. My dads friend who's a mechanic still has to look at it. Hopefully he can teach me some things while he's looking at it!!

Leaks a little, very little, oil and trans fluids.
I OK with a little, it used to be a lot.
I've got it scheduled in for a full gaskets and sealants reconditioning at the 750Kkm checkup in 2017.

Slight drip leak from the oil pan drain plug. The other day my trans line popped off in my work parking lot spilling about 3 qts of fluid.. Pretty embarrassing to say the least. Got it sorted out now...
I did have a front pinion leak when I made my drive from Michigan out to ND, and the entire underside of my jeep has a coating of gear oil on it. Since replaced that seal, all good now.
