My WK has had a smell lately that resembles burning oil smell. I looked underneath and could see some drips on the rear part of the skid plate under the engine. I wiped it with my finger and cannot tell what fluid it is. I suspect the fluid is getting blown back and getting on the exhaust and causing the smell. I do not know.
It does not appear to be trans fluid ( no red tint) but it seems to not be as thick as oil and is darker in appearance.
My oil level is fine (just had an oil change 3 weeks ago) and the trans dip stick says for dealer only.
What could be dripping? Could this be residual oil from the last oil change that pooled on top of the skid plate??
Could this be gear oil from the transfer case? How would I know if the transfer case is running low??
Possible seal problem between the transfer case and tranny?
Please help out if you can! I appreciate it! Hopefully I am worried over nothing
