Cat litter if there is a lot to clean up. Let it sit for a day. Anything left can be cleaned with most anything, dishwashing detergent may break it up better than a spray cleaner.

Sounds like automatic transmission fluid ( If the transmission has been overfilled or has got water in it once the transmission is warmed up the fluid expands and can come out the vent tube ) or it can be a leak ( the transfer case for the AWD system and the Control Trac 4x4 system also has automatic transmission fluid inside it and the power steering system also uses automatic transmission fluid )

Fluids Make A Car Run?
One of the most important fluids in your car is the transmission fluid. There is no way around getting your car to run properly without transmission fluid. This fluid is what makes your transmission turn and the gears shift. If you have a leak and there is little of no fluid in your transmission, then your car will not move. There are some signs you can look for if you think your car is low on fluid.If you have a large piece of cardboard, you can place it under the car. This will let you know if there is any fluid leaking form under the car. Leave the board under the car for at least a day in order to see if anything is leaking.

It if it red, then it is most likely transmission fluid.When you discover there is a transmission fluid leak, you will need to have it looked at by a mechanic immediately. Some leaks are not detectable until the mechanic looks underneath the car. You could also have an internal leak that is not showing up under the car. The fluid could be going to your oil reserve or to another part of the car. Sometimes when you have your transmission fluid changed, the bolt may not be tight enough and some fluid will leak around it. All you have to do is take it back to the mechanic and get them to tighten the bolt. If the fluid leak is large, you will either need to get the gasket changed or find out where the fluid is going. Do not run a car longer than necessary with no transmission fluid. This will damage the transmission more than if you would just get the fluid leak fixed.

Why would transmission fluid be leaking?
my explore drives fine but i have to add tranny fluid every 4 blocks or it wont move <><><>< If you write in this part, the computer assumes the question has been answered- caught yours by chance. Obviously, you have a leak in your transmission. A couple of common spots would be the pan of the transmission, and lines that carry transmission fluid to the radiator. Those small lines are needed to help cool transmission fluid, and are easily damaged or worn. A shop should be able to find the leak in a couple of minutes with the vehicle up on a lift.
What is the problem when the car leaks transmission fluid and starts but won't go anywhere?
The transmission needs fluid to propel the car. If there's no fluid, you're going nowhere. Fill it up, and find the source of the leak. It could be a transmission seal, or maybe it's as simple as a damaged line from the rad. Don't try to move the vehicle at all until the transmission is full of fluid. You could burn out the transmission, causing a very costly repair.
