So new 2012 JK and I've noticed oil coming from the rubber o ring plug on the passenger side. It looks like its the transmission but the fluid looks to be oil. Has anyone else noticed this. I cleaned it really good about 2 weeks ago and now see it again.

 

Wow either I'm the only one or no one else has checked theirs...

 

Looks reddish in your pic which would be tranny fluid

 

Agree... looks like tran fluid. I checked mine and it's dry... thank goodness.

 

Just checked mine and when i push on it a little oil comes out, wtf is it? oil or tranny fluid?

 

Yup. Same here. Looks like engine oil to me. Anyone know what it is??







What are the rubber plugs for?

 

Anybody know?

 

Bump for the op.

 

Its under warranty. Take it to the dealer and make them fix it

 

So after 2 trips to the dealer they finally spent some time to figure out what was leaking.
Turns out it wasn't oil but Tranny fluid...
I was told there was a crack on a weld near the transmission pump.
They replaced the tranny pump and torque converter, fulshed out the system and put her back to gether.
