I cant see anything, but after driving my car for a while, the engine smokes a little bit, and it looks as if it were comin up form under the car, a friend of mine said it could just be dripping onto the cat. ive noticed the cat smokeing yesterday. so i believe something is leaking on it, and the heat from the cat is making this **** smoke..

could just be the seals where the axles go in. If that's it, the seals are about 8 bucks a piece at honda. Easy to do, just takes some time. In the mean time, just check your fluid level every few days...

My tranny was leaking too a while back. Went to the tracks, mis-shifted and revved the hell out of 2nd gear. Anyways, started to smoke a little later. Do you notice a funny smell? Is there a wet spot when you park?
Turns out the seal was busted. I paid 160 to get it fixed I would've dont it myself but I didnt have the time or the tools. Yea the seal itself was like 8 bucks though.

Jack it up and then wipe everything down. Check back a few days later and you can detect the leaks if there are any. Just me but I wouldnt take it to jiffy lube for tranny work.
