I noticed a couple of drops of redish clear liquid under the Jeep. I traced it up to the highest point and it appears to be coming from the hose pictured below. The picture is looking straight down from the front of the jeep.I originally thought it was ATF+4 but the hose looks to be coming out of the radiator down into the engine so it could be coolant. What is the hose and what is involved to replace it?  Uploaded with ImageShack.us |

Your transmission cooler on a 2002 is in the radiator. Can't tell by the pics if that is one of the two lines but I think it is. See if you can follow it to the trans. |

A member over on KJ Country suggested the clamp. I checked it and I can move the clamp and hose with my fingers so I am going to pick up a new one tomorrow. Hopefully that's all it is. |

I replaced the clamp last night and cleaned up the hoses so I can watch it.

The clamp didn't solve the problem. Came home tonight and there was a drop under the Jeep. Popped the hood and there was fluid on the hose. I guess the next step is to replace the hose. I'm guessing I can get this at Advanced or Napa. Does anybody know what the inside diameter of the hose is? |

I was trying to confirm the size before I went to make sure they give me the right hose. |

I replaced the hose yesterday and that didn't solve the problem. So I took it to Firestone who replaced the radiator back in July.Different store though as we had to have it replaced in NC on our way back from vacation in VA. They discovered that the o-ring on the lower metal tubing coming out of the tansmission cooler was left out. A new one was put in so far it looks like the problem is fixed. Knock on wood. |
