if you think its one of the hoses, first make sure all the hose clamps are tight and check for holes in the hoses.

well i think i found the problem, the hose either coming out or going in is being pinched under the bottem of the radiator somehow it doesnt look cut, so i'm think take it out reposition. but wat the hell do i do bout all the tranny fluid i lost?

You refill the tranny...

The tranny has a big yellow dipstick on it, you fill the tranny up until it reaches the full mark on the dipstick.

Did they use genuine honda ATF Z1? I didn't think they stocked it at Dobbs...

Some non-dealer shops also use to SmartBlend additive by Life Produsts (converts reg. dexron ATF to Honda friction-modified specs), which works well too...
