So, I needed a car tuit suite, and there just happened to be a '95 Cherokee Sport sitting in the corner of the lot, that'd obviously been there awhile, so I managed to work the guy down to basically half the price.
It has 104,500 on the odometer, runs great, everything works fine, except the flippin' drivers' electric window, and.... it leaks. I noticed the oil build up on both of the pans, but figured that if the vehicle worked, it was worth the price.
Soooo, I'm looking forward to enjoying it, and wrenching on it. And chasing leaks.
Any ideas on where to start looking for leaks? Or any cool tricks to find them?

Welcome to CF from Deep South Texas.
The first thing is to get it clean so you can pinpoint the leaks. As jeepride says the leaks are those three spots usually. Clean it so you can decide if it is just one or all of those places leaking.

Thanks for the welcome!
I just finished flushing the rad, replacing the serpentine belt, and the rear bumper, but am punting on the non-functional driver's side window as well as the leaks. I'm paying the mechanic to do those things.
Problem is, I'm gone during the week, and don't have the time to fix everything.
We pick our battles, I guess....
