hey guys my I gota b20b swap in my hatch , motor only has 45k on it , change the oil everything 1500 miles. . well maintained. . well latley I notice a little funny smell when I get on it a little. . driving normal no smell?? no smoke when getting on it either. . never uses oil. . thats my first problem. . it seems when one thing goes wrong a couple more things happen. .well im noticing some fluid on top of the tranny. .as shown in the pic. . not sure if its oil? I cant really tell as im sick and im stuffed up anyways so I cant smell it here is where its at. . . I am also 100 percent positive its not the cam seal. . as it was just replaced and it is also dry up there.

 

Taste it then, alil oil or coolant won't hurt u and u can spit it out. It's in a place where it could be either oil or coolant so.. good luck.

 

check your coolant hoses?

 

What color is it? How can you not tell what it is? Is it green- its coolant. Clear - water or clean oil, darkish in color - oil... Or tranny fluid which would be slim to non..

 

i had coolant leak in the exact same spot, looked more like oil right where your arrow is but everywhere else looked like coolant. Replaced all my swollen old coolant lines and the spot has been dry as a bone since. Just make sure to check for all old and worn hoses.

 

it was actually not green , it was a very clean color, almost like tranny fluid? but I highly doubt that its tranny fluid?

 

if its oil then..
someone spilled while filling
the cover gasket is leaking
or the distrib O ring is leaking

 

When I read his post, I was thinking the samething.

 

fixed. . please delete

 

hhhmmmmm
