Civic RS Turbo 2019 - CVT transmission oil seepage

[asadnaeem1]

I have Honda civic rs turbo 2019 model and driven 59K kms till date. After recent oil change, the dealership indicated oil seepage from the transmission and suggested changing oil seals of the transmission including axel seals. They are suggesting that this is a known turbo issue.

Need guidance if I should proceed with removal of transmission and replacement of seals or could it be a mere loose bolt. There is no dripping, only seepage.

People have experienced this issue and have got seals changed without any issue.

Known issue for this car, should go ahead with repairs if you have verified seepage with your own eyes including axle leak.

coil leak
rack shake
cvt fail
engine fail(in turbo's)

is part of regular maintenance in x gen ?

You forgot battery overcharging and hard as stone seats.

Total genuine, service history available.

And these MF are selling us tin cans with no basic safety regulations and build quality.

Let's see them die with struggling sales

Will take it to Honda Classic today. Earlier evaluation was done at Honda Rahim yar khan. Initially it seemed to be gear oil seal leak and axle seems fine. But if the transmission is being taken off why not get all the seals replaced incase. Cost of seal is negligible as compared to labour charges.

Nice catch

If axle seals are ok then do not replace them. Infact you shouldn't touch anything between axle and transmission unless until something is leaking.
Change transmission oil chamber seal if it's the only part that's leaking.

Update:

Had two dealerships have a look at it and they all are pointing towards gear/torque seal replacement.

The complete set of seals for turbo variant which are on there sharing for future reference with P/Ns.

91214-5AA-Y01 = Engine side main oil seal
91207-5LJ-003 = Torque Conv / Gear side oil seal
91206-RCT-003 = Axle seal (Left)
91205-P0X-005 = Axle seal (Right)

Is it because of the risk that the new seal will not be installed properly? Since the seal is a soft material and wears with milage and age they are bound to leak after end of life. The car is 4 years old with 60K so may be one of the seals which is not currently leaking will be next.

Can you elaborate the concerns in getting all of them replaced at once? Is it because of workmanship issues that you are recommending to avoid it for now?

Civic turbo has a habit of destroying torque converter seal. So you should get it replaced, and axle seals. Do not open any other parts of the transmission.

These are the only three seals you need to get replaced.
However engine main seal can be observed that does it need replacement as its hectic to get the transmission down again and again so see if engine main seal is good, if yes then no need for it, but if there's some seepage then change that too.
