ATTS Leak? - Honda Prelude Forum

Mojo85 · 10-28-2006, 04:31 PM

has anyone had ATTS unit leak?

my car is leaking, it doesn't look to be motor oil, but either tranny or ATTS (ATF) fluid.

tranny level seems to be full and can't fully figure out where its coming from.

any suggestions to figuring out where the leak is from?

UPDATE:

So far i know for a fact it is not engine oil because colour is way off, and it doesn't smell.

It could either be, tranny oil (likely suspect), ATTS oil?
Colour is very light brown/yellow just like tranny oil, and has a smell to it just like tranny oil, not sure what the colour of ATTS oil (ATF) is..

Thought it was the drive seal, so that was changed.

So cleaned the area today once more. Went for a run and came back, saw a drip about to come down.

Here is what i saw:

No oil, on and around the drive seal, but the lower frame (behind the drive shaft) had the oil trail and drip on it.

So what the heck could be leaking? any suggestions on what it could be?

thanks!

Stupid question, did you check the drain plugs were tightened enough? Also, for some reason, ym power steering line is leaking at the second swage. Might be the same for you...

if at all possible if you got a decent pic under the car I could give you a pretty good guess

if its brown and crusty, I'm willing to bet its a slightly torn inner CV boot. Mine sprayed around the underside of the car due to a ripped boot.
