Update on leaking Honda MTF...

If you were following my previous posting on this:
I switched to Honda MTF 6mths/10K miles ago and the tranny case is leaking fluid at every gasket area.
I got under the car and tightened every bolt I could find on the tranny case. I found that I could turn most of them slightly tighter with a closed-end wrench (didn't want to use a ratchet and socket since that would apply too much torque and snap the bolt). The amount I was able to turn them was very minimal.
I found that the shift linkage area (where it enters the tranny case) was wet with motor oil as the front crank seal (behind the crank pulley) is leaking. I had originally thought this area was wet with MTF. It is definitely MTF, though, that is covering the entire bottom half of the tranny case.
I cleaned up the entire tranny case and will now drive around for awhile and see if it leaks again. I also topped up the MTF with a little more as the level was in the middle of the two lines on the mini dipstick.
I will post again later with my findings.
