Ok, 2019 3.6 with 8-speed. It’s 100% not coming from cooler or PCV, and it’s not engine oil. We put dye in the oil and it doesn’t light up with light. Only ends up where I have it circled and only on passenger side. The rubber plug never has any on it unless I don’t clean it up and it runs to it on the outside. It’s always just a coating and has never dripped, but I usually wipe it up before it becomes one. I have an extended warranty, but if they pull the tranny and that isn’t it I have to cover the labor. Next I’m going to California in July to do the rubicon. I’m going to wait till I get back, per some advise from someone on this forum who is more mechanically inclined than me. Plus I don’t want them to pull it and need parts that are on back order and then I can’t take my trip. It has to be tranny fluid, but I can figure out where it’s coming from.

I believe the original trans fluid has dye as well.

nothing is lighting up with the light. I can say for sure when I use a white rag the fluid has a greenish tint like the tranny fluid is. I have no clue where it’s coming from. Thinking input shaft, torque converter, or pump seal.
