Took jeep in for the TSB of the new gear box, as well as oil/filter change.
I get home and I smell what seems like oil burning. So I look under and see all this fluid, not sure if oil or something else. From above it doesn't look like oil was spilled when refilling and around the new gear box looks like a fair amount of fluid. Could this be "normal" if sloppy work was done rather than a problematic leak?
FWIW the Jeep drove pretty well before but there was a very minor amount of play in the steering wheel and slight wandering so figured why not. It does seem to be much better. If I had to say before the Jeep drove 90% like it should and now after the new box probably closer to 98-99%.
That said, there is fluid all over the place, thoughts? Wondering if there is an actual problem or if the mechanic just did a half ass job keeping things "clean" while changing things out.
EDIT: upon reviewing my dash cam footage when they pulled it out of the shop the tech immediately said, "I smell fluid" and asked for power steering fluid.
