2010 Honda CR-V automatic transmission with 120,000 miles on it. I currently have a small leak on the driver side near my transmission. I have provided a picture of the leak and would love any advice and information on the leak. What exactly is leaking? Is this something that I should get a mechanic to fix or should I attempt myself? Also, how urgently do I need to get this fixed? Currently have no problems with the car making noises and no driving problems (no transmission problems).
Thanks in advance,
Andrew
Sorry I don't see any leaks. I don't think you need to do anything.
You posted twice about the problem with this axle over 1/2 hour apart. Please note that this is a violation of forum rules. (It appears that the text was lost on the first post. That should have been corrected by posting a followup to it. Topics merged)
Is it clunking when making U-turns?
If yes, replace it. If not, I’d wait till it starts clunking/clicking on U-turns, then replace it (it will, soon).

I don’t quite see where it is leaking. Is it at the axle seal?
I have provided a picture of the leak
After seeing the picture, it appears that it’s not the axle boot that’s leaking, but rather where the axle plugs into the transmission.
I recommend checking the transmission fluid level in your vehicle (using the dipstick), and if it’s low, having this issue addressed by your trusted mechanic, reasonably quickly.
PS. Don’t wait for clicking noises (as I mistakenly thought leaking CV boot earlier).
Can you please provide some more photos of the leak?
Here are some more pictures. The leaking fluid is not the same color as the transmission fluid at all... the ATF is pinkish/red and the leaking fluid is a greenish color.

Here are some more pictures
I can sort of see some wetness, but it's out of focus.
Anyway, if it's green then it's coolant seeping from up above somewhere.
Check what's above ... reservoirs, hoses, pumps, etc. Usually it's the pump.
