Have a leak...
 
It appears to be power steering fluid. There are two tubes running beside each other on have a black hose in the middle. It is found just Above the drag link. Anyone else ever have this? Is it some I can fix or does it need to go to a shop?

Take a few pictures, that'll help.

If it's a power steering hose, they can be replaced. Then a matter of bleeding the air back out of the system.

They are the transmission cooler lines.

There's a recall for some model years, and even if yours is not covered it's an easy fix.

Thanks guys. Now I just have to figur out if mine is under recall. :)

First, the token "it's a Jeep" comment which means it leaks everywhere eventually.

With that said, I had the same problem and it is a known issue. Those two lines "weep" at the elbow. In my research of the issue, aside from replacement, the general consensus seemed to be to accept it and monitor your fluids.

Not that this helps but after cleaning the outside of the lines, it stopped. There is no reason that should have worked, but it did.
