I just went to change my oil, and when taking off the protective cover under the engine, I noticed a film of oil coating the bottom of the CVT pan. This is new since the last time I changed my oil about 5k miles ago. There is no dripping, and the area around drain plug is clean and dry. Furthermore, I park in the garage and have never seen any oil stains on the floor. The car runs fine. I had changed the CVT fluid by draining and filling at the fill bolt around 30k miles, and now Iām at 57k. I have Hondacare through 120k.
I called the dealer and was told to bring it in, pay a $69 diagnosis fee, and they would add UV dye to the trans fluid and look for leaks, and if the problem is covered by hondacare, I would pay nothing.
Has anybody noticed oil on the bottom of the CVT pan? I donāt see how this is normal, but also donāt know why there is no dripping from the bottom of the pan or on my garage floor. Maybe the pan gasket is leaking a bit?
