Why is my Jeep leaking engine coolant?
The leakage is often coming from a hose that is not properly screwed in. Sometimes, the fix is as simple as tightening the hose or cap. If your hose clamp is damaged, this could be the root of your coolant leak-issues. Find an auto-part or Jeep-repair shop near you and purchase a replacement hose clamp.
Where does the coolant leak from a Jeep Wrangler?
Found my radiator leaking from the lower left hand corner. It’s more like a seep. As you can see in the picture, it just sort of pools up there. My reservoir was very low so I topped it off. As of 1/8/18, I had not ever seen any drops on the ground. The few I saw were the first signs of anything.
What should I replace the radiator on my Jeep Wrangler?
Just replaced mine ’12 last week. Unfortunately it looks like the OE radiator may be the best replacement (and will probably fail a few years later) as I’ve heard of a lot of failed Mishimoto aluminum “upgrades” Check out the Sticky about a class action lawsuit…

Can a 2 year old radiator have a leak?
Radiators should not be failing in 50,000 miles on 2 year old vehicles. Be sure to keep the proper ratio of glycol to water in the system. My neighbor owned a radiator shop for years and would always talk about cars coming in with no glycol and how straight water dried out the gaskets in the system and creating leaks.

Can a transmission leak cause a Jeep Wrangler to slip?
If you’ve found red fluid under your Jeep Wrangler, you probably have a transmission leak. A transmission leak is a big deal. If you let too much transmission fluid leak, the transmission will begin to slip, which can quickly cause long term damage. Unlike oil, transmission fluid is flammable, and will flash if it hits the exhaust manifold.
