1st Q- A few days ago I started my car, within the first 10 minutes it was driving fine till i had to sit in traffic. I was in D4 and once traffic started to move I pushed on the gas and it seemed as if it was in neutral. I pushed my foot down farther and it was start to inch slowly forward. It was as if pressure was lost. Father of my kids was in the car with me, and he put it in D3, it acted the same. He then changed it into 2nd and it drove like how it should as if nothing was wrong. We pulled over and when I put it in park, the D4 stayed highlighted on my dashboard along with park. Also I could here a constant clicking noise going on every few seconds from the gear shift while in park, and it never did that before. If anyone can give me any idea of what they think it could be it would help. It is an automatic and it was having no issues before this incident and no noise or slips.
2nd Q-Father of my kids said he had noticed fluid leaking from my car recently after the gearshift started acting up. He stuck his finger in the fluid which had leaked in the drive way and it was not oil. He suspects it is the transmission fluid. So I purchased some but I was wondering where does the transmission fluid go.
Also where does the antifreeze/water go as well. Im use to pouring it into a white container under the hood but there isnt one under the hood for the honda. The father of my kids says the antifreeze (or water) suppose to go straight into the radiator. I honestly dont trust his thoughts of where he thinks it goes.
3rd Q- I decided to pop the hood to check some of the fluid levels in the car. I have three plastic white looking containers under my hood, the 4th which was for the windshield fluid had recently been removed. So I have two on both right and left side near the top and one on the lower right. The one of the lower right is says its for power steering, but for some odd reason both on the top left and right say there both for break fluid. Im sure there has to be something wrong with that picture but Im curious if anyone has seen that, if its not suppose to be that way Im guessing whoever owned it previous to me just took a cap off of another vehicle and decided to use it over that container since it fit. I havent had a chance to check my manual for my car, I just thought Id throw it in there.

Check the transmission fluid level:
1. Start car and let it warm up.
2. Remove transmission oil dipstick
3. Wipe it clean with a paper towel
4. Re-insert the dipstick fully
5. Remove the dipstick
6. Read the fluid level. It should be between two marks on the dipstick.
You add transmission fluid to the same tube that the dipstick is located. Add one pint at a time (not the whole quart).
Without a picture of the engine compartment, I can't be too specific.
Antifreeze goes into the white tank (it's a coolant overflow tank) that has a small black tube that runs from the overflow tank to the the radiator, near the cap.
Brake fluid goes into the one with two steel tubes (they look like they are aluminum color, but believe me, they are steel).
Power steering fluid goes to the one that is connected to the power steering pump.
You need to check again on the two that say they are for brake fluid. Something doesn't sound right on that item. You're probably right on your presumption about a substitute cap, but substitute caps don't usually fit any tank except for the one it was designed for.
Cars usually have six fluids - coolant, transmission, brake, power steering, engine oil, windshield washer. Seven fluids for rear drive vehicles - rear axle.
I get the impression that this car was previously owned - so the previous owner many have done some modifications under the hood.

transmission needs fluid %26amp; could be going bad. I suggest buying a Haynes repair manual for your car
for $14 bucks. It will save you allot in repairs.
With automatic transmissions, they can be temperamental at times but in your situation, it seems as there is something physically wrong with it. It is possible that according to the findings of the Father of your kids, that you may have oil leaking from your transmission. If this is the case, putting transmission fluid in your car is not going to fix your problem as it will continue to leak and I highly recommend that you take your car to a mechanic and get it checked before the problem worsens.
In regards to your question with the 2 brake fluid caps located on the top left and right. Based on the images that I have been able to source from this here wonderful Internet, the top left cap is for the transmission fluid and the top right is for the brake fluid. Should you want to add more coolant and/or antifreeze, the cap in the front of the engine bay on top of the radiator is where you can add fluid.
if it is an automatic, you will find the dipstick on the passenger side either in front or rear of the engine bay. check it hot and off and rough;y 30 seconds after you shut it down, the brakes issue, one on the driver side is for the brakes, the other one is for the abs system, it should be marked as such. the 4th one is for the washer fluid like you said. there is another tank along side of the radiator. if you follow the rubber hose down from beside the radiator cap, it will lead you to that overflow tank.
1st Q- I think your transmission selector could be out of adjustment. More so because of the clicking noise and d4 being highlighted along with park. That being said the slipping you aluded to could also be a failing tranny. Check the fluid level; under the hood there should be a dipstick tube that is labeled transmission or simaliar. Pull the dipstick out and smell the fluid, a burnt smell is bad or brown oil, it should be red and clean, you check the level while it is running and warmed up, usually the dipstick itself will tell you wether to check it in park or netrual. To add fluid you use a small funnel and can put it in the dipstick tube. Do not overfill! Make sure you get the right type of fluid for your transmission there are different types and they are not compatible.
2nd Q Antifreeze can go directly into radiator but your right usually there is an overflow container that you add to.
3rd Q there is usually two resevoirs for the brake fluid but they shoul be close together, they also would be on the drivers side of vehical. Hope this helps
1st question you better check the transmission fluid. 2nd question. yes you can fill the reservoir with anti-freeze and if the radiator needs some it will suck it up from there. 3rd question. all those reservoirs should be labeled what they are.
