Man I'm bummed out a little here.

went to make sure my Honda track drive was race read and found a small puddle

under the machine??? Looks like hydrostatic trans fluid ??

The reservoir is just a hair above the low mark.

Anyone have a clue as to where to start looking for the leak?

I was wondering if I can use 5w-40 motor oil in there to top it off?

Thanks in advance al

But that small puddle under there has me wondering..

I'll know better tomorrow when I run it.

Thanks again everyone for your input..

Thanks for the replys guys false alarm .Honda worked great today.

I see no leaks.. Fulid is fine right where it should be.

There you go, just a few drops of unidentified liquid on the floor.  Nothing to worry about.  It's not like you have to drop $500 bucks for a new transmission.
