I have an AEV 3.5 SC lift on 35 inch Trail Grapplers. It's an auto 2012 with 10k miles on it.

Today I was out running some errands and noticed I had a leak I drove it straight home and looked at it in the garage and it is lacking tons of red fluid from behind the drivers side headlight area of the engine compartment. I have no idea what this fluid is or why I have the leak. But I think I need to get it towed because it is leaking just as fast as a water fountain spits out water.

Any ideas?!?!?

Feel it in between ur fingers. It's it oily? I have a feeling it's antifreeze. Check your coolant levels.

Also check your trans fluid.

 

Did you hit a bird and it's stuck in your grill bleeding? Is this the legendary blinker fluid?

 

It is very oily. Is coolant oily?

Is t blood? LOL. What he said. Looks like coolant to me.

 

Check your coolant overflow tank and see if it is the same fluid. If you have pets, keep them away, coolant is sweet and dogs and cat love it, but is poison.

 

The only thing I know that is red, is Transmission Fluid. Is there a tranny cooler up there?

 

Yes, the stock one.

 

looks like ATF to me the mopar HOAT is more of a lighter pinkish color.

 

I have found where the leak is. It is in a steel hose that runs up to the stock transmission cooler. There are 3 steel pipes in the pic and 2 of them are running together that caused the leak. The line with the yellow tape on it is the one that is leaking from rubbing up against the line with the black rubber on it.

I hope this is covered under warranty.
