I found out the battery was dead so I changed battery's with our other car. I got it started yay me. But when I went to move it, it didn't want to move, so I gave it a little more gas and it moved, then I tried to reverse it and it spun out and will not move. It is crooked in the drive way. Well I looked and under the engine it is leaking some reddish stuff. It is a steady drip maybe one drip every 2 second. What the h*ll is it. Is it worth fixing or is it really just a stupid jeep. Please help me.
 
You have a transmission leak. The fluid is red. It will act like you described, when the fluid gets low. You probably need a gasket. You can add fluid to get to a garage and get it fixed. But be careful ... on transmissions, too much fluid is as bad as not enough. you're tranny dipstick will say how to check it and how much to add.

By how to check it, I mean like in park or neutral, or warm or whatever. Different cars are different on that.
