What is going on here ?
Hey everyone just got back from installing my rear camber kit, while looking under the car I noticed some oil sweating on a certain part under the car .. not to sure where it's comming from, can someone give me a clue of what this can be or where it's comming from ? I'm still under warranty I would like to have a clue of what this can be so when I call Acura I'll be able to give them an idea !!
Thanks averyone !!

The bolt with the square drive looks to be the Automatic Transmission Fluid drain plug.
The smaller bolt with the oily residue i am not sure about. You might want to see if any oil was spilled from above in the engine bay and may have dripped down to that point.
Have you had any service work done recently?
Just so you know the ATF fluid is reddish color and that looks to be fine.
The larger bolt to the top left of picture 3 looks like it might be a drain plug for the oil pan? not sure as i have the v6 tsx. Someone with an 4cyl can confirm the bolt in question. It also looks wet with oil. You need to confirm if your car is leaking any oil by looking at where you regularly park to see if there are any oil drops on the floor.
