Trans oil leak – input seal replacement party

What I thought it was a small engine rear main seal leak turns out to be the transmission leaking. I think I am lucky that it didn’t drain all the way. It leaked a lot on my way back from Houston so much that the right side of the chassis is covered with oil and dripping at the rear control arm bracket. I think and hope that it is the input seal so I ordered it along with the engine rear main seal just in case. I am sure it’s not engine oil since level is ok and it’s not the right color. Transmission worked fine all the way to my garage. I haven’t moved the jeep and don’t plan on moving it until I fix it or at least put more oil in it.

Corpus people! What do you think about an install party on Saturday the 30th?

I just came form the garage. It actually looks like motor oil so it might be the rear main seal (strange since its a new engine and level looks good). Either way let me know if the 30th works.

Is it red? Did you notice smoke when you let off gas pedal?
