One or some of you here may have dealt with this once before. I have a 2005 civic EX. Car is automatic. Ive got t gis leak that's been happening somewhere under the left side of the head and the top of the transmission. I have replaced the vtec solenoid gasket, and replaced the triple o-ring on the shift sensor right at the top front of the transmission.
Added some dye to the engine oil but the leak had NO dye in it. We removed the engine oil cap and looked inside and the oil reacted with the UV light. So it tells us that the leaks has to be transmission fluid related. We replaced the o-rings on the solenoid up front and cleaned everything with brakekleen and purple power. No the leak is back and it looks exactly as it did before.
I'm at witts end trying to figure this out. Any help is appreciated.
If ATF level is too high or overheated, there may be breather hose that could spew ATF.
Not sure if the transmission mounts are hydraulic filled or not but is that a possibility?

Was about half quart low but it's been topped off to proper level a few weeks ago. MOUNTS are rubber as far as I know.
After a recent visit to honda they said the VTEC (Spool) Solenoid is defective. While we did change the gasket with the screen there is an internal o-ring that appears to have failed. Will reply back once I change the valve out and clean up the mess.
