Not CV. Red means transmission fluid. On front frame probably means you have a transmission cooler which is a smaller separate radiator that keeps the transmission fluid cool. That's probably where the leak is or the line leading to it. Check your transmission fluid (it has a dipstick) and make sure it shows at the proper level on that dipstick. Add transmission fluid by pouring into same tube dipstick is in. Drive to nearest shop and repair leak.
look in your book that comes with the car you should see the answer in the book or there should be a dip stick that you can pull out to check your fluid lvl and put a funnel inside of that spot to fill it from there
yes that is where you add CVT(continuously variable transmission fluid), I would check with the dealer before adding any regular ATF, make sure you have the right fluid before you ruin your transmission and are left with a hefty repair bill!!
In the same hole the dipstick for the transmission is in. Small funnel works the best to minimize spillage. Also make sure you check the level of the transmission while the vehicle is in park and running and engine hot. Avoid over filling by adding small amounts at a time and re checking.
Transmission Temperature light only comes on when the transmission has reached the operating limits and tells the temp sender to send a warning. The OD light is the Over Drive light. There may be several reasons causing the Trans. Temp light to come on. The first would be if the transmission is low on transmission fluid. Place you vehicle on a level surface. You can check this by letting the vehicle warm up to normal operating temperature, then open the hood and remove the transmission dipstick and wipe it clean with a paper towel or shop rag. Then reinsert it and remove it again, holding it horizontal look at the end of the dipstick. You will see a level mark and a add mark. If it's on the add mark then you need to add transmission fluid. Do not add more then 8 ounces at a time, before rechecking the level. If the fluid is full, smell the fluid on the dipstick, does it have a burnt smell? If the fluid has a burnt smell or it's a dark brown color then you will need to change the transmission fluid and filter. The Overdrive light is on due to high transmission temp or because the Overdrive button has been pushed. ( If equipped with a manual overdrive button) When the transmission is hot it will turn the overdrive off to increase the speed and pressure of the transmission fluid to help cool the transmission. So this problem will go hand in hand if you find a problem with the transmission fluid. You can also take you vehicle to you local auto parts store and have them check the engine codes. There may be another problem causing this issue.
YOUR CAR DONT HAVE DIP STICK.IT HAS A OIL FILLER CAP.YOUR NOW HAS TO BE PUT ON A CAR LIFT.AT DEALERSHIP.THEY HAVE TO RAISE IT UP.MAKE SURE IT IS LEVEL.THEY HAVE TO REMOVE A DRIP PLUG ON TRANSMISSION.CHECK FLUID WHILE ITS RUNNING.FLUID COMING OUT DRIP HOLE DETERMINE HOW MUCH FLUID IN TRANSMISSION.FAST DRIP MEANS TOO MUCH.SLOW DRIP LEVEL CORRECT.NO DRIP MEANS YOU NEED TO ADD TRANSMISSION FLUID.
It is annoying when people automatically assume there is a dipstick and that we are all dipsticks for not knowing. There have been a few cars that have come out on the market in the last ten years or so that have no dipsticks for the automatic transmissions. I also have the same issue with a slow leak from the line coming out of the rad. There is a spot on the front of the transmisson behind the rad hose where you can put in fluid. When you remove this bolt, fluid should come out..if not then you need to add some. To add it jack the front of car and using a funnel add some fluid until it pours out when the car is level. This may take several attempts. If you over fill it just let some drain out into a pan until your at a trickle then put the plug back in. This is the only solution I was able to come across for this. It seems to be a common issue with these cars as it the problem of the lines rusting out and into the radiator making it necessary to replace the lines and rad,
there are two areas where you can add fluid from the front of the vehicle, doesnt matter what kind of car it is, one is for checking the oil the other is for the transmission fluid, but before you add transmission fluid i recommend your flush out the old transmission fluid first so all the grimey old fluid is out and at the same time can notice if any bits of metal are floating around
