Recently my TL started leaving puddles of oil in the driveway. When I climbed under the car to see where the oil was coming from, it appears to be coming from the area of the radiator. It is impossible to know for sure without dropping the shroud where the oil is coming from, which I didnt. The oil is dripping from this shroud. The shroud is under the radiator for the entire width of the car. In the center of the shroud is a cut-out and there appears to be 2 oil lines running parallel to the radiator that can be seen in this cut-out. These 2 lines are very wet with oil and I was thinking maybe these are oil lines running to the radiator for cooling? Does anybody know where this oil may be leaking from? The amount of leakage is not large, maybe a silver dollar size puddle overnight.

 

the oil cooling lines to the radiator, SOMETIMES ruptures.

it'll be at the fitting

 

transmission fluid likely, not oil. There are two transmission lines that go from the transmission to the radiator to cool said fluid. You're going to need a new radiator potentially unless it's just a seeping through the lines themselves in which case you'll need new lines.

 

Thanks Thoiboi, its definitely oil and the wet lines definitely arent transmission lines. There is a seperate radiator for the trans

 

Hey thanks Justnspace. Do you know where the fittings are? Is it posible to see them without taking off the shrouds?

 

Justnspace, you say rupture? It doesnt seem to be leaking bad, will this just go at once? in approximately how many miles? do you know? WOW

 

no one can give an EXACT mileage.
research it!
type in google, "honda/Acura radiator oil leak"

 

and of course, find the source of the leak on your car to make sure we're talking about the same thing

 

it could be this fitting, as Ive seen more than one poster from the TL to the MDX post about it

 

Thanks for all of the help Justnspace, I guess shes going to my mechanic. Do they just rupture and leak all the oil?

 

rather than speculate, take off the shroud/bottom engine cover and definitively find it

 

yes. just ruptures and leaks oil.
i just got slammed at work, but
