I have an 06 Liberty with 29,100 miles on it, 6cyl, automatic transmission.
Today I went on my first "big girl" offroading adventure with 3 other Jeeps and a 4Runner.
I kept catching my control arms on things (mostly just high-centering crap when trying to run on mud), There were a few times where I got stuck and had to be towed out of the mud.
When we got back into town, we stopped at a gas station. One of the guys noticed a drip from my front end, so we went to inspect it (read: I watched them inspect it).
He touched the fluid and it was a reddish pinkish color. He pulled out my transmission fluid dipstick and said "Yep, it's still good" but he otherwise didn't have any official answer of what it was, He said the hoses have flat spots like they were rubbing and one probably got rubbed thin enough to break it.
His advisory was to take it to Midas tomorrow and get it checked out, but I am hoping that someone on this forum has an idea of what it might be, so I dont walk in going "durrrrr i have a leak".
is the reddishpinkish fluid the ****** fluid?
add: if Im not able to get an appt for a few days, what should I do in the meantime?
ADD AGAIN: I just went out to my Jeep after it sat in the driveway for about an hour.. THere was a single drop on the ground. When we were at the gas station it seemed to be dripping fairly consistent. Why the change?
