I just noticed when i got home today that there was some oil on my garage floor where i normally park my G.

I parked on the other side where my jeep normally is and i saw the oil. So i looked on the floor where i just parked and i saw three new drops.

The drops are in a triangular shape, and are coming from the driver side. it is towards the rear portion of the transmission on the driver side.

My G almost has 41k miles on it and i had a new transmission done at 39k so i don't think it is that.

Have any idea what this could be. I need to take it into the dealership pronto.

Just an update.. The fluid looks like it is from the trans. IT is like a redish color. I don't know but this is really strange. I don't see any place that is leaking fluid.

Smell the fluid...transmission fluid has a very distinct smell when compared to engine oil.....transmission fluid smells almost "sweet"

I would take it right back to the dealer. It could be something as simple as a loose drain plug ot a leaking gasket?
