I’m having a transmission leak and I’m taking it to Honda on Thursday. It’s 1.5t cvt. Can I just add transmission Fluid as a temporary fix because my car would jitter sometimes. Or do I have to drain it out? I been having the leak for like a month or 2 so I think I’m low on transmission fluid. And where would I add it?

Of course you can add transmission fluid, just make sure it is the right type and you don't overfill it.

You can see the fill plug at 0:46 in this video:
