Hey y'all first time poster, long time lurker.
Look for some advice on what to do with this a 2003 Honda Accord Ex v6's transmission casing.
There is a hairline fracture next to one of the pressure sensors that is leaking fluid.
Can it be welded without taking it off? If so, how would I go about it?
I'm worried about it being a high-pressure area.
Any and all advice would be appreciated.
Attached is an image of it, forgive the gunk a boot busted recently.
Thanks again Honda community ..read more

I am seam welding my 05 focus 4 door, and don't have MIG. Only TIG. I have cleaned the metal pretty well, but not well enough, bc I cant get between the layers that are spot welded together. Tried quick pass w/ no filler to burn a bit off, clean w/ 99% iso or acetone in between passes, but still getting too much contamination. Using 70s-6 filler.
Can I drop a little muriatic acid on the seam to clean up the inaccessible seam? Or can I use flux core wire w/ a TIG torch? lol
Help! Gotta finish this before I can drop the motor in. Pics are after quick passes over everything w/ no filler to burn ..read more
