Hose to radiator is leaking what appears to be transmission fluid
3 Attachment(s)
The hose appears to be a bit lose and I'd like to replace it but the guys at Autozone couldn't figure out what hose it is. Perhaps you could help me out. Here is a few pictures of the hose in question.
Attachment 55224 Attachment 55225 Also I'd like to refill the transmission fluid I believe that has been leaking out. Do I just pour it directly into where you use the dipstick to check the level? Or is there perhaps another place I can't find to refill the fluid? Attachment 55226 Thanks for your help! |
There are two hoses from trans to radiator. They carry AT fluid to and from the trans for cooling. Radiator has a small isolated section for cooling AT fluid. Hoses need to be replaced. Looks like they were replaced earlier w/ perhaps substandard hose material. The worm gear clamps can be overtightend and it appears at least one has been overtightened (upper hose end in picture 2). Suggest getting OEM hoses and spring clamps.
Fluid is introduced through the dipstick opening w/ a small diameter, long funnel. good luck |
Definitely replace the hoses with OEM hoses, you should be able to find the parts here www.acuraautomotiveparts.org or www.acuraoemparts.com

Also keep in mind when checking the fluid level in the Trans the car should be running. Diff makes sometimes ask for car sitting off but Honda is running . Make sure you dont overfill that may be why its leaking out . Only reason i can think of it to be overflowing anyway.
