2017 Civic Sport - Coolant leaked into CVT fluid

[MoJoJoJo]

A week ago I noticed slight 'Judder' and transmission sounds at low speeds, did a CVT fluid change only to discover it was contaminated with coolant.
The coolant bottle is also dry and concluded there is definitely a leak in the system. This is a serious problem and would like to know how best to resolve it.

Any suggestions or advise on how to proceed?

Thanks

The only time those two fluids come close is in the CVT fluid warmer. There is probably an internal leak causing the fluids to mix. After replacing that, I would suggest flushing the coolant system and the CVT. Budget for at least double the amount of coolant and triple the amount of CVT fluid to do a decent flush.

Hi & thanks for the response, I suspected as much and confirmed same today.
Trying to source it online as the warmer isn't available anywhere here in Jamaica.
