Trans fluid leaking from front of car... guesses?
It's a million degrees here in NJ so I'm not about to check this now but I wanted a guess at what the problem is going to be. I noticed the other day a small puddle under the front of the car, I figured it was condensation but then when I came out the next morning the puddle was there and bigger. It's definitely trans fluid and its coming from the the radiator area. Seems like its either the radiator itself or one of the cooling lines going into it, curious if there's a known issue with either that might help me narrow down where the fluid is leaking from.

most likely the trans lines going to the radiator bottom left side and look at the differential for leaks. The trans lines going to the radiator are easy just add Honda trans fluid to top off.

^^^ Thanks, a few other people suspected the lines too so hopefully thats what it is, my helm is in the car so I'm hoping that there are rubber lines from the hardlines to the radiator, if so that'll be fantastic. If the hard lines are bad that's going to suck.

It was the hard line going across the bottom of the radiator, looks like it rusted where its clipped to the body. Had to order it online, luckily it seems like a 15 minute fix once the line comes.

So what is the part called that you had to order? My CL has been leaking now for a couple days and going to take a look at it today. Sounds very similar. Also, was it hard to correct? any Step by steps? thanks?
