2021 Rubicon EcoDiesel, 50k miles. I have a steady fluid drip between my cat and tranny pan, leaves drip marks on slow roads, puddles in the driveway when running. It’s not oil or trans fluid. Leaves condenser or DPF as it looks like water, has no smell. Anyone seen this?

DPF uses no fluid at all so that's not an option as a source.

DEF smells like cat piss (ammonia) so that's probably not it.

So just AC Condenser? Not really sure where that’s is located but that seems like an odd location for it.

Ac drip plugged on 3.0L

here’s a video about the drip line being clogged. Looks like it drips on passenger side above the transmission

When someone has an angry grille, a big light bar, and low profile tires, it's hard to take them seriously...

But in this case he's probably right about where the problem is.

I’ll have to check in the morning. Plausible that might be it but mine is draining on the opposite side of the tranny from in the video.
