Yeah so my car is a 1995 Accord LX 2.2l Automatic with 160,5xx miles

The other day I was driving around for a bit and stopped at home, after turning the car off, I noticed there was a lot of smoke billowing out of my engine compartment.

After popping the hood it seemed that a transmission line into the radiator had sprung a leak and sprayed ATF just about everywhere.

Not only this but behind the manifold heat shield, a fire had actually started. So after extinguishing the fire with a bit of water. I'm left in shock, but anyway after replacing the hose that was leaking, I'm still getting small puddles of ATF on my driveway.

So in retrospect I'm just wondering if while driving a car that is spraying fluid, could any other transmission components have gotten damaged in the process and be causing more leaks?

Sorry for my lack of technical terminology and any help would be appreciated

If you said something caught fire. I would get the car fixed first before driving it. Did you jack it up to see where the leak was coming from?

 

It is dripping from the skirting that is around the front side of the car.

And I took the car for a drive down the block and it seemed to run fine, no overheating.
