Noticed my ‘14 EX has a slight transmission fluid leak and noticed that the CVT fill plug is popped out. I’ve done some reading and learned that it’s a common issue and can be resolved by cleaning the vent cap out with compressed air. Is it likely that the fluid leaking is spillage coming from the fill? Or should I look into it more.

Very common problem and there are lots of threads on this

CVT fill plug pops out, plugged vent?

So I did an oil change yesterday and I noticed my fill plug was on top of the CVT... Kinda scared so I got some HCF-2 to change it out today and it has popped out again after 100 miles? I've searched and found a few people that mentioned the same issue but no solution. Anyone have some insight?

CVT Oil leak or normal venting

So, I was checking my engine bay the other day and I noticed a sizable oil stain around the CVT fill hole. The stain feels wet/fresh so it's not from the assembly line. I haven't had the CVT oil changed yet, so there is no reason for CVT oil to be on top of the transmission! Also, I don't...

Thanks for the post.
I just noticed some leakage on top of my fill plug and it was loose. Not popped out, but raised slightly.
My daughters civic also shows sign of leakage on top of the fill plug, but it was still completely seated.
I will clean the vent on both cars and monitor going forward.
