I just picked my new Tech package SH AWD today. Was curious as to how complicated oil changes would be, so I crawled underneath the car (yes i fit) and lo and behold found a quarter sized oil spot weeping out of where the transmission bolts to the engine, similar to the pic below (from a post on a Honda board from someone with a 2.0 turbo engine). My leak doesnt look quite as prominent, but I literally have 50 miles on the damn car. It's definitely transmission fluid based on the smell test and color. I'm planning on taking the car in this week, but wanted to see if anyone else has run into this and give folks a heads up. Take a look under the thin metal cover under the drivers side, next to the exhaust. I'll post a pic of my leak in a bit.
