I was driving at hwy speed about 60-65 mph and the trans started to want to down shift to maintain that speed. I wasn't sure what was going on so kept an eye on my gauges and drove about 5 or so miles before I started spewing white smoke from under the jeep. There was trans fluid all over everything on the passenger side from the bell housing back to the tcase.
I towed it home and cleaned up all the fluid. I checked the trans fluid at idle after only running the jeep about 2 mins and it was directly in the center of the add and full line. The fluid did not smell burnt and was still pink. Based on my experience it looked almost new.
Based on where all the fluid was it looked like it came from a piece on the passenger side where a line goes out/comes in from trans cooler. It has a bundle of wires that enter the top of it and it has a nut with a small flat "tab"(similar look to a key) on the side of it.
Other than the desire to downshift I didn't notice any other changes in the transmission. I drove it up and down the driveway a few times and couldn't find anywhere that it was leaking. Any help would be appreciated.
