I noticed the trans was acting a little funny last week. It wasn't too perceptible, but I noticed it. Just a little sluggish and a little hesitant to downshift. I checked the fluid and it was about a quart low.

I looked underneath and saw this, then also noticed a few small spots in the driveway. I tightened the bolts a tiny bit a couple months ago due to a similar looking leak, but no spots on the driveway.

The trans pan has the rubber gasket, so thought I was good. I noticed it coming out of the side this time where it appears the shifter linkage goes in, but there was a little wetness on the wire loom above that. I think that was just a little spray because there's no leak above the side "hole."

I'm trying to get my Jeep back on the road, but once that's done I'll change the trans pan on the Expy. Any thoughts on the shift linkage though? Is there an o-ring there or something, and if so, how difficult to change out? I Google-searched the forum and didn't come up with anything. Thank you.
