Default Transmission Fluid Leaked!

Well yes. Somehow it did.

Some of you guys know my car jerks. Well I had a job interview so I HAD to drive it.

But whenever I hold down the brake, it will jerk me back and forth at lights and stop signs. So I pop it in neutral.

It started doing that when I was at a light (Car is neutral). I pushed it into drive, and it wouldn't go. I had to rev up really high for it to go. At the next light, it came to a point where I almost had to red line for it to go. Thats when I luckly had enought speed to pull up into a parking spot. I left the car roll down a little, and saw that ALL of the tranni fluid leaked.

You could see a small line following me from the light, big pool when I was going to turn, and another line to the parking spot.

Could it have been a hose? The car drove just fine(except for the idle) before.

p.s.
It's a 95 Accord (Automatic) with a 00' Engine. The transmission is the original one. Around 135k on it.

Worked fine, and no sings of it going out. Just for a little slip on first and sometimes second.

Yes, it could have been a hose, take a close look at the transmission and see if you see anything obviously wrong. Busted hose, hose dangling from your radiator, etc.

This is what I'm hoping it is. Because everything was wet from the front of the car, all the way to the back. It was dripping from that plastic cover under the car. And the transmission is behind that EXCEPT for those 2 hoses going to the radiator.
Sweet. I'm just waiting on my friend to see what it can be.

I'm uploading some videos right now to post.

Transmission with alot of gresea around it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o5y4D_bV-w

Hoses under radiator (one on left is wet. The one on the right ISN'T): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ofck5uS9D9U

On the first video, there is that small hose that has an opening at the end. Is that for the A/c?

check the bottom of the raditor. There are 2 nipples for the auto tranny fluid to go in and out of the tranny for cooling. The hoses around them can crack very easily, and its also easy to strip one of the nipples at the bottom of it.

Already. Going to do that right now. Will see what I can find out, but it looks like it's a little tight under there.

Yup. Thank you sir. I looked at that hose, and just kept looking around. If it wasn't for you, I would of been another day out of a car, and more $$$ out of my wallet. Thank you again!

Yup, Did that. The other one looked good. But should of changed it while I was down there.
I had to take the radiator, radiator fans, and un-connect the hoses from the radiator. Those little clamps were a hassle to get off. I changed them to the screw on ones.
