If the fluid in the manual trans is over filled will it leak? Because there are no holes anywhere and I cant find any leaking gaskets. It coming from the bottom. What can it be?

Hi vegasaccord,

Overfilling of gear oil would leak out through the vent hole on top of the trans assy.

If the leak is from the bottom, it could be from the CV shaft seals, drain plugs, impact damages or the mainshaft seal.
