32rh transmission leak

[MikeO]

98 TJ, 4.0L, 32rh transmission:

Noticed a leak today, pink, guessed it's transmission fluid, crawled under. (Not a mechanic).
The bell housing is clean and dry. I had the main rear seal fixed about six months ago, so hoping that's not it.
What I did see were drips from around the "transmission pan?" Looks like there's a gasket in there that may be leaking. Is that a thing? Common? Easily addressed?

I'm not freaked, just curious.
I'll have the mechanic give it a look soon. In the meantime, I'll watch the fluid level.

I have a few drips every once in awhile on mine. You can check the tightness of the bolts. I believe they are 150 inch pounds.

X2...be VERY careful here as it is only ~ 13 ft lbs. Make sure your wrench is set properly.

Thanks, Looks like a torque wrench is in my future.
