Re: Transmission leaking
Clean with some degreaser/engine cleaner.
Drive.
Examine with a flashlight and determine exactly where it's leaking.
Likely places are drain plug, axle seals, input shaft seal/oring, torque converter. There are seals at the kick down lever and linkage shaft.
Maybe flush the fluid if gritty old cruddy fluid is contaminating your seals they won't seal well. The fluid on the stick can look clean and pink and when you flush you are amazed at the brown cruddy mud that comes out.
Use only genuine Honda fluid.
