I remember reading somewhere on the forum about a TCB about those atf line hoses that can rub together leak the ATF and a fire could start. Get it to the dealer ASAP.

Nope no wheeling lately. It's been months since its been offroad and the pan looks fine.

I don't understand how these 2 hoses are touching and rubbing. It is so far away from any lift components I can't imagine it's from my AEV lift.

I will be calling the dealer first thing tomorrow morning to get it towed. I've lost so much fluid I don't feel comfortable driving it.

If you have warranty left it should cover it. Even if not under warranty, it shouldn't be an expensive fix.. Likely need to replace that fluid line due to a defective fitting or a worn spot from rubbing and top off the fluid.. If you can't do the repair yourself, prior to trying to get it to the shop, top the tranny fluid back off.. If it's REALLY pouring out, you might need to call the dealership, explain to them what's up and they will likely send a roll back to pick it up.. That should also be covered by the OEM warranty..

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?!?!?

I have a 2008 JK and got a recall notice on the transmission cooler lines to the radiator. So I took it in and they replaced the hoses with new ones. If that is the case this should be a free fix if it is no longer in warranty.
