That's the shift arm cover and there are some oil seals in there...check out the diagrams on slhondaparts.com.

That may be brake fluid but it's probably leaking from your hydraulic CLUTCH system.

it is brake fluid... every few days i check my clutch master cylinder and i have to fill it b/c its nearly empty.. ive found where its leaking from but dont know how to fix it... i wonder do i drill it out b/c it looks like something similar to cleaning the egr ports... i cant find a way around it... its like whenever i park somewhere my car has to leave its mark on the ground...

Huh ? Drill out ?

It's either your clutch slave cylinder or the hydraulic line leaking. You can have it fixed or keep adding brake fluid. At some point you will have added enough brake fluid to have had it fixed.

The stock clutch line is about 20 different pieces including, lines, connectors, brackets, bolts, etc. You need to start at the clutch master cylinder and follow the line carefully all the way to the slave cylinder and try to find the leak.

Here's a pic of all the stuff you should check--



It's probably at the damper or the clutch fittings on top of the tranny...

i found the leak... its the picture up above.. whenever i have someone step on the clutch you can see brake fluid seep out that part. there is no bolts and it doesnt look like an easy thing to take off and repair.. its not the slave or master cylinder... i just replaced both about a month ago..
