Check the return hoses and mostly the clamps. The factory crimp clamps can loosen and can be cut off and replaced with regular worm style hose clamps. Pressure wash it and find where it is coming from. The hoses are the most common point.

Take it to a car wash (manual). It is good enough... you may get a little wet. get under and spray up around the box and then spray from the top down. You may want to bag that new filter when you do it...

Also, the ECU is on the passenger side by the washer bottle. Stay away from that area with high pressure, but everything else is ok.

Update:
Just changed the differential fluid and the transfer case oil.

Okay will do, I guess I can just switch out the filters? Takes about 30 seconds haha and I don't have to waste plastic zip loc bags

So when I spray from the top stay away from the passenger side, gotcha. Thanks tell you how it goes.

I loosened all the screws (all the way up to the windshield) and it wouldn't budge. Couldn't do it, could the paint make it tough to move?

yes, I would leave it alone then and wait for a body shop... It may even have some adhesive on it.

Since I'll be at a car wash can I clean the engine bay? Heard I could but wanted to make sure.
