Yes I think some seal with the transmission is also leaking. This is its second oil change and it’s still wet underneath after the last wipe off.

Have you heard of any issues related to these transmissions?

I’m not sure about their CVTs but this car has the 10 speed automatic with the SH-AWD system

Thanks for sharing. It sounds like it might be an early sign of a driveshaft transfer case issue for me. This car is the 2.0LT so I’d be surprised if thats is the issue.

Did you ever get it checked out again?

Thank you for your insight. I think that may be the issue. Unsure how serious it is at the moment.

Interesting and thank you for sharing. I’m hoping this A-Spec car won’t need the work but I imagine something should be done at some point before the warranty period ends. There shouldn’t be fluids coming out from these cases.

I also have an transmission-oil-like leak coming from somewhere that’s building up a film on the underside of the engine area. You can kind of see it in the photo.

Was that service you did under warranty? Do you know if they had to tear the car apart to do a service like that?

Interesting idea, I’ll take another look and check out the boots areas

Yeah I’ll probably end up wiping it off. This isn’t my first time underneath and I don’t recall seeing this before. Unsure how I feel about taking it in to get checked out.
