well i was out last night at a meet guys and when i looked under my car i had oil coming out from the passenger side close to the transmission drain plug. I thought that maybe the plug came lose somehow but it wasnt.

Ok my question is if my passenger side axle popped out would it leak oil as though it was a miniture waterfall. I was goin to add oil and drive home but was unable to because onced i added the oil it began to leak right out. I just put the transmission back in from replacing a clutch about 2 weeks ago

all help is appreciated in advance!!!!!!

 

Oil won't pour out when you remove the axles. Barely any will come out. The leak is either coming from a plug or from the housing itself (the entire thing is sealed together with Honda-bond).

 

Did you replace the seals when you put the axles back in? While this wouldn't produce your "waterfall", it should be done any time you remove an axle. There are few places that a manual transmission can leak and since you checked the drain plug, that pretty much says it's leaking from the diff case. How where you parked when the leak occured? There shouldn't have been too much fluid loss unless you where on a crazy incline, or you overfilled it.

 

did you check your rear main seal

 

Yes I did replace the axle seals when I changed out the axles...could it be leaking from the casing itself.....I recently opened the casing to check the condition of my synchros...

 

I checked the rear main seal and it looked like it was in good condition.....is this a symptom of when the rear main seal goes out

 

On an '89 Accord I had the axle kept popping out and it would leak oil very quickly out around the seal area. Sounds similar to what is happening for you. Also on this trans I had to make sure the seal was seated in exactly the correct location. Too far out and it would make the axle pop out, too far in and it wouldn't seal properly.
