I just had my 2004 Honda Pilot EXL serviced at a Honda dealership on April 11. They did a tranny flush and replaces the 4th gear pressure with because my "D" light was blinking. All was well until this past Monday when the light came back on again. Then last night I noticed there was zero tranny fluid in my car. It all leaked out. So today I had it towed to Honda and they told me it was the pressure tap. I've never heard of a pressure tap and when I got home I did a search and came up with no results. Just wanted to see if anyone knew what this was. Thanks!

    The line pressure tap is sealed with a pipe plug in the transmission which is removed to check the line pressure with a test gauge. Sounds like they didn't tighten the plug and that caused the leakage. I guess they used the line pressure tap to check the transmission with a gauge and didn't put it back right.
