Hello guys, would really appreciate some help. I bought a 94 Ex coupe a couple months ago and so far everything is good until recently ive noticed that i was low on trans fluid (AUTOMATIC) and topped it off. When i drive the car to work and back the trans will kind of shift hard in second gear and once im home you can see and smell the fluid on top of the transmission. There is no obvious leak from underneath when sitting or even after i drive the car and park it. Could it be leaking from the top? Ive heard theres a breather pipe?

Details of the car: 1994 Civic Ex Coupe, 2nd owner, all original OEM parts, bone stock, 80k original miles. Automatic transmission.
