Leaking fluid
My 06 civic is leaking what appears to be transmission fluid, but when I check the fluid level it's always topped off without any sign of fluid loss. The fluid on the dipsitck looks good not dark brown or black and it doesn't have a burnt smell to it. Going to the get it checked out some time this week any ideas on what this is?

Update:
I went to the dealer thinking it would be a small leak and minor repair. I only noticed a few drops leaking a day so didn't think it would be that bad. The guy at the dealer tells me it's a cracked transmission case and there is nothing they can do other than replacing the transmission with a new one.
All of this started because I hit some crap in the middle of the road. The underside of my bumper was sort of chipped, some plastic/rubber crap underneath the car was dangling so I took it off, everything was fine and I thought all was well, until the transmission leak. I filed a claim with insurance and then took it to the dealer to have it fixed. They replaced the bumper with a new one, among other things and I shell out the deductible thinking that the entire transmission needs replacement. They call me and say that it's not cracked the 'radiator sensor' was bad and needed to be replaced. They bought another sensor for only 40 bucks. So I had all of this unecessary stuff replaced and all that was wrong was a $40 sensor.
