I was washing under my 2018 JLU 43k to get ready to fluid film for winter. I noticed a discoloration dripping along the exhaust manifold. I checked hoses and they seem good. I don’t do any rough off roading. Mainly pa hills no rocks or scrapping of under carriage. Manly fields to hunt etc. What do you all think? Thank you

They both use the same OAT coolant.

What you can do is this. Rinse the bottom of it off really good. Then check the coolant level when it's cold and top off if needed. Drive it for a day or so and see if it's wet again. Then check the coolant level when it's cold. If the level is going down and you have wetness, then you have a leak. At that point go under it with a flashlight and see if you can tell where it's coming from.

No not OAT COOLANT, which is a pink to purple in cooler. That maybe just some thing that was on your under carriage that washed off with your hose.

So I went and got the Mopar coolant from the dealer. Filled up to the max line went to Buffalo New York then to Allegheny Forest to go hunt for the weekend and then back to Cleveland and this is the level.
