FYI:

I learned about defective porous aluminum components the hard way. Our brand new 2010 Ody EX-L developed a very minor transmission fluid leak when it had ~ 3K on the clock. It started with a few red fluid drops on the garage floor. After taking the Ody to the dealer to have it checked out (took 2 trips to confirm), I was told that the transmission case was more porous than usual and that it was allowing ATF fluid to "bleed" through the transmission case. Long story short, Honda replaced the transmission and it has been dry ever since.

Any type of seepage or leak is definitely not normal.
