Just noticed that there is oil dripping from ma CRX, it is coming from the gearbox area and is kind-of thin, i assume it is gearbox oil.

Heres my problem, i havent got a clue how to check the level of the oil or where to top it up if it needs doing????

Any help is much appreciated

 

You have to be under it and the car should be level.

The upper hole is the fill hoile, and the lower one the drain hole.

remove the fill bolt and stick your finger in it...if you can't feel any fluid add some honda MTF or some 5w-30 motor oil of your choice. until it starts to drip out, then replace the fill bolt and thats it.

 

Just wondering what the leak could be, is there a gasket on the gearbox?? or any ideas where it could be leaking from?

 

it might be leaking from the axle seals ....btw always use honda mtf...never gear oil ..if gear speed uses honda mtf in indestructable trannies u know it must be good
