Tranny Leak Question (I did a search...)
Whats up guys? This is my first real tech post on this board (although i've been viewing it for awhile now).
Here it goes. I bought my civic in December. I was told that it had a JDM B16 2nd gen motor/tranny swap. Its a 1995 cx hatchback. After further inspection, I realized it has a 2nd gen intake manifold, the block said 91 on it, and a friend of mine (honda tuner) is certain its just a JDM 1st gen motor with the 2nd gen intake manifold.
It has a hydrolic tranny. Here is the problem...
About 1 month after owning the car, I discovered a tranny leak (driveshaft seal). Ok, fine. Replace the seal. 1 month later, the seal is leaking fluid AGAIN!
Fastforward to today. This is about 2 weeks after I had the leak replaced for the 2nd time. I had the car sitting for the last 3 days, no leak. I took it out for a bit last night, and this morning I think I noticed some fluid when I drove to work today (I didnt have time to stop and look).
I'm assuming that something much larger is at hand here. Could the driveshafts be at fault? Could anything else? The car shifts like butter. Can anyone give me some suggestions as to what I should be looking for? The previous owner didn't even know it had a 1st gen motor,,, he paid for a B16aII swap, and was shocked when I told him it wasnt a gen II motor.
I'd love to just bring it to one of my friend's shops, but its a really busy time of year, and I'd rather attack this on my own if possible.
Thanks!
