That "Square key" is your tranny oil drain, Sounds like the crush washer is bad, go to your local dealer and ask them for a tranny oil drain washer, you will have to drain/fill your trans fluid, but its more than likly what is leaking. (that square key, is also 3/8th drive)

sorry,...the dealership recomended some "HONDABOND" anyone ever heard of it .....think it will do the trick..they said that its not the tranny oil drain the said it doesnt even serve a purpose....i unscrewed it and its just a plug some white thick fluid drained out, not much at all mabye 2 ounces and then it stopped..its located directly down from the motor mount on the pasenger side any help would be great thanks

What else would it be dude? all B/D - series trannys have a 3/8th square drain plug on the bottom of the transmissions. with a crush washer, if you pulled it out, and nothing came out, you have some serious issues. You need to drain it completely and refill it (with MTF or 10-30). Throw a new crush washer/gasket after you replace the fluid.

If you think the fluid is leaking between the 2 cases, you will need to remove the trans and split the case, and use honda bond to seal it up. (very unlikly)

its on the side of the transmission right in front of my axle and there it no washer
its just a brass plug...where do i check for tranny fluid on a gsr tranny??

wait wait, there was white fluid mixed with your oil in the tranny? that is water in your tranny if it happened that way.

You are looking at the wrong end of the tranny, that is to gain access to the sea-clip that holds the upper case in order. If its leaking on that end, it could easily be an tranny axle seal.
