Transmission Leak From Bad Seal

Transmission Leak From Bad Seal
I was changing my oil today and I noticed a bead of oil (as well a small spot on the ground right below it) where the tranny mates up to the engine. I touched it with my hand to make sure it was water but to my surprise it was definitely oil...
Here is a pic of where it was:
Here is a closer pic of where the bead was...as you can see from this picture I took it about 3 hrs later and another bead was already forming.
I searched and found this thread
( https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...0&#entry7682174 ) and this seems to be my problem...in which case I need to take it in but I think my warranty just ended like 2 months ago...would the dealer still cover this repair?

well i dont know how you would tell if its motor or transmission oil because i'm guessing mtf is kinda close to motor oil since honda recommends regular 10w30(i think? i dont remember now) as a "temporary replacement" in the owners manual.

It was definitely engine oil. I smelled it this morning. In that case I have to call Honda and see if they will cover. My car is 2 months out of warranty
Thanks for the input guys. Anyone replaced this by themselves? would you need some sort of special tool to drive the seal ?

You dont NEED the special tool to drive in the new seal, it just makes it alot easier and fool proof. You can always do the oldschool method of using a hammer and extension to put in the new seal, but u risk ****in up the seal or not seating it right.
