First are you sure that it's tranny fluid and not engine oil? The JK's oil pan is notorious for leaking in that spot right above the large adapter plate between the transmission and the oil pan. If it's the oil pan gasket, it's a cheap repair that can be done during your next oil change.
The transmission pan is farther back and it would be obvious if it were leaking. If it's transmission fluid and leaking in that spot, then you have a larger and more expensive problem. A transmission leak in that spot indicates that the front pump seal has failed which requires the complete removal of the transmission (along with your driveshafts and transfer case). If it is the seal, many will opt for a complete transmission rebuild because the mechanic will already have the transmission removed and partially disassembled.

Rebuild? Fuck don't tell me that. How much is a tranny rebuild? Ahhhhhh
But rig has less than 60k miles do I have the warranty?

Hooked
you may be covered - depends on how the dealer views your mods..they don't like to expense anything out!
Also, I had a leak similar location - turned out the be the upper oil pan seal - I didn't know these had 2 oil seals!! of course it was the upper one and cost about $250-$300 to repair..but then again I have 95+k miles
LS soon!!! :beer:

Yea my oil was new and I know the oil smell, plus where my oil pain is, it's all dry.
In the tranny skid plate you can see the most fluid and you can see wet and shinny fluid
I don't know what I will do now <\3

You may just need a new gasket on the transmission pan, don't panic! But don't drive it when it's low on fluid & DO NOT over fill it or you may need a new transmission if you do
