    I thought my pan was leaking but when i drive around the trans does not leak but when i tow behind motorhome the trans will leak fluid. It seems like it is building up pressure and than dumping it out . I make sure jeep is in nuetral and is auto trans.

    Confirm the location of the ATF leak. is there a hose, clamp or connection or plug that isn’t torqued to spec. Perhaps the transmission is over filled? leaking from the breather line or vent? Check the owners manual for towing prep?

    You cannot see a leak but seems to build pressure and blow all over passanger side under. the pan is not leaking when not towing.The vent line comes to the top of intake and seems to have ck valve but is not leaking. followed all tow directions.
