Coolant leak

Hello,

2009 fit......
Wondering about typical coolant leaks that may occur around 150K....
Having the pleasure of dealing with this nonsense......

Radiator.... had to be replaced about a month ago...... the Press on the reservoirs was leaking...
Seems now there is another leak...... It is a stick.......5spd...... there looks like some coolant is on top of the tranny......

You need to have a shop like a radiator shop pressure test your radiator. They will remove your radiator cap, top off your radiator with coolant, and then pump up the pressure tester to the pressure specified on your radiator cap, and then look to see where the coolant is leaking from. Otherwise checking is just hit and miss.

This problem could be a sign of a blown head gasket.
The fact that you ask in the forum the way that you do, indicates that you are not familiar with proper diagnostic procedures.
I suggest you immediately take your Fit to a competent auto repair facility/mechanic. Delaying proper diagnosis and repair may cause you a damaged engine block that will be beyond repair and require an engine replacement.
