93 dx coupe trans. leak
Okay i bought this car with a burnt out clutch. So i replaced it and then i went to change my trans. fluid and only half a quart came out so i put in 2 1/2 quarts and within 2 days it all leaked out heres a pic of where its coming from some one said my seals are burnt and i should buy a whole new trans. but im poor i put my money in buying the car and the clutch so is there a cheap way to fix this?

The seals can be replaced readily. Its not clear from the picture where the fluid is coming out. There is a seal for each CV axle, one where the rod from the shift lever goes in and also one on the input shaft from the clutch. In the latter case, fluid will drip out of the bottom where the engine meets the transmission. It's also possible it's not a seal and the case is cracked or the bolts are loose.

As mk says, first try to pinpoint the source of the leak. Start by cleaning all oil from the surface of the transmission and engine, add some fluid to the transmission, and then watch for where the fresh fluid first appears. Post pictures.

The two locations actually may be caused by the same leak, which seems to be from the passenger side axle seal in the transmission. The seal costs about $6 and the job is relatively easy after the axle is removed. I had a recent thread on this topic.

Based on your picture, I think it is the passenger side axle seal, right? If so, that's in the transmission housing section, part 10:

Also call the Honda dealer to see whether picking up the seal from them is less expensive, due to shipping and handling charges at Majestic.
