transmission leak problem. need help finding it
Hello so i pulled my engine out along with the tranny. There seems to be alot of oil around the tranny and underneath it, I was wondering if anyone knew or had an idea of where this oil is coming from?
here is a video of the engine. I can take pictures if its better but let me know if you guys had this problem before.

Re: transmission leak problem. need help finding it
It's look like motor oil vs. trans fluid to me and IMHO, based on what I could see in the video, the most likely culprit is the cylinder head cap. It's the little plastic cap where the distributor used to be on 2000 and older civics. It could be the valve cover gasket, but since it looks isolated to the trans side I would say it was the cap. It's known to leak and is a very cheap part to replace.
It's piece #6 on the link below.
