I was driving down the road and noticed smoke smoke pulled over and looked under and found it was leaking. My jimmy was in 4x4 so i finished driving it to work but took it out of 4x4 and noticed it was not leaking so i drove home after work and still was not leaking .HELP CONFUSED ON THIS ONE ? Thanks
Your vehicle has a different area of the drive train working with 4X4.
When it is in 2 wheel drive, only "1/2" of the drive train is working. Your problem is with the 4X4 part of the drive train.
Please do not engage the 4X4 again without having it looked at, and fixed.
I should like to tell you specifically what is wrong with your vehicle, but I am only suggesting the fluid may be low, or need changing, or perhaps a filter is plugged, or there is a leak.
To ignore the leak is to risk destroying the drive train.
God bless your efforts.
Where is the fluid leaking from? The transmission or the transfer case? Pretty important to know where it's coming from before asking for help
turn car off turn steering wheel from left to right all the way each way for about 10 to 12 times with it full of fluid you have air in your system and that will bleed it out in most cases

I believe the heater hoses are on the pass side on your truck, but have you checked where the heater hoses go into the truck? Otherwise on the driver side I would check 2 things after I checked the hoses 1. Intake manifold check it up and down they are bad for leaking at one of the corners. and it could be running down the back onto the ground. 2. check the freeze plugs. if you can go to autozone see if they will loan you a coolant press test kit other wise they are about 30$ for one .With the car off top the coolant off and press the system to what the rad cap is rated 15 or 16 ect. get your flash light and chase the drip. I would say the intake is your first shot at finding it. if you have a uv light you can also add dye to the system let it run and find it. First get some thing to stand on get on over the intake and find the coolant just remember it can leak from here and run and drop there. hoses , intake , freeze plugs
