Hey guys,

So the car in problem is not my Z but my gf's 2004 automatic base RSX. I don't surf any rsx forums and i thought this would be a general questions for mechanic-pros on this forum. Story is below:

Gf took her car out 9:00am in morning. Wet road, sun shine blinded her, she drove onto side walk a little and climbed back down. Continued to drive 2 more blocks car died. I didnt have the time to check it out myself but from what shes saying: "Sounded a little weird, then a little later, can "rev" but car will not move anymore." Bla bla, it got pushed to near by parking lot. BY the time i arrived, never turned the car back on. I saw a puddle from the front of car didnt look like oil, looked thin. Im thinking the side walk curve punctured something. Called a tow guy and he took it to a mechanic at a nearby 76 gas station. Guy there is my grandma's friend. He fixed stuff for me before like o2 sensor but he said transmission is fked and out of his reach. Gotta find a specialist.

My question is, what do you guys think? Ive never had any problems related to engine so i have no idea what to do or where to start. Will be checking and updating for anyone who needs more info.

Thanks for reading guys. Hopefully I can get the car back on road.
