I have a 2000 honda accord vtec 4 cylinder 2.3 lt with a manual tranny and oil is getting into my coolnant reservoir from my engine or tranny. Im not sure if its engine or tranny fluid. But its oil. My engine is running fine so im not sure if its a blown gasket. Any tips?

Hi antmaul99,

Manual transmission has no links to the coolant system so if there are any, it would be from the engine or other source.

Is the radiator coolant level correct?
Do you have overheating issues?
Is your engine oil milky?
