I just swapped in a new AT and I pull out of the driveway to see a "noticeable" puddle outside on the driveway. I haven't looked at it yet so I'm not sure what it is but I need some suggestions to see. I'll take a better look tomorrow but I was running it on the jackstands in the driveway and saw a major leak coming from the coolant hose and fixed that (forgot the gasket to the trans block) but now I look and there's fluid outside after about two hours.

Suggestions?

did you look under the car and see where the general area the leak was comeing from?

civicmon

No, I shouldn't have posted until I did (I just looked under it and freaked out, it's dark outside)..

I'll check it tomorrow and i'll update this and see what it is/where it's coming from.

agreed.

It's definately tranny fluid though.

I looked under the car and noticed that the axle had slipped out about a half inch. Popped that back in and hoped that solves the leak. Hope it clicked in this time around though as well.

may be the rear main seal.

Yea an axle seal will do it. I'm surprised it was able to pop out at all, as once the axle is in, it's a pretty tight fit.

yeah I drove down towards the border and back and looked under (After letting the car sit for about 2 hours and there was no fluid on the floor.

*whew* now I can get my life back.. thanks for the help.
