A/T - Axle Seal Leakage

SOURCE: Honda Service News

TITLE: Low-Mileage A/T's Can Leak From Axle Seals

APPLIES TO: 05 Accord
05 CR-V
05 Element

SERVICE TIP:

If you've got a low-mileage A/T that's leaking ATF from an axle seal, replace the axle seal, not the A/T. When the factory installs the axles, the sharp edges of the splines can brush against the axle seal and cut the lip.
