So this unknown Spray pattern has reappeared, I wiped if off to see if it would come back, it did, the jeep is brand new to me, an 08. Is it the power steering fluid?

Spray? Your lucky my 2012 rubi straight up pissed out a ton of coolant but at the time I thought it was trans fluid and I had it towed to my dealer that was 50miles away for $200. They kept it over night and gave me the liberty to drive for free and the next day they said that it was coolant and that it passed the pressure test and gave it back. That happenend in Sept and I haven't had any problems since.....which I'm still baffled why it did that

I see dirt under your Jeep, were you off roading/climbing when this happen? From the location, it looks to have been coming from your overflow bottle and that would have been normal if it was over filled and in those conditions.

I work in a rock quarry and I was about to take my lunch break and I noticed the wet spot. I drove 20 miles to work at about 55mph on level ground and it was 50degrees outside and it left a 50foot trail of coolant to where I parked it in the pic plus all the coolant on the ground

Now THATS some nice articulation.

Lol. You like that? It sucked driving that thing 50miles home without a paper bag to put over my head lol. 2wd only but it did have a pentastar in it. I'm also glad that I got the extra insurance for it cuz I whomped it through the desert like I stole it

Someone brought one of those to Rausch Creek in PA one time. For those who don't know, the easy trails at Rausch Creek are a good challenge for a stock JK, so you can imagine trying it in a Cherokee :doh:
