help -> some fluid licking out

[h4tor1]

I pop up my hood just now and notice some fluid in the transmission bay. I am guessing that it is the transmission fluid. I had Mazda dealer to flush my transmission fluid and i am thinking that they put too many fluid in there. The place where the fluid is came out doesn't look like a bolt. It looks like a bleeder with a cap in there. Do you guys think it is OK if there is some fluid licking out or is there anybody has the same situation? It is not really bad but i just want to make sure it is ok with the tranny. Thanks ahead guys. The blue arrow shows where the fluid comes out

some idea guys ?

That's a test port for the tranny fluid. It usually stays pretty dry, but some fluid may seep out. Check your transmission fluid level using the dipstick while the engine is running.

It's a vent. It might get damp, but it shouldn't be leaking out.

If you paid full price for a tranny service, that comes with aftercare. Take it back to the dealer and have them check it out.

thanks for the info. i check it everyday and no fluid is coming again. the tranny might just get too hot on that day and the dealer must fill the tranny fluid too much so it is leaking a little bit. So far so good :)

I dunno.........if I was going to do some licking on my engine I would wait until it was cooled off first, Damn the P5 engine seems to get real hot!
