13. As for the brake fluid

on a 15 year old Honda, you don't need a flush. It's a scheduled maintenance item, but it's all over the place. Meaning a Merc wants it done every 2 years/20k miles, but GMC says 150k miles. For a Honda, once a decade is ok if you do it during a brake job out of boredom, but even then you're only around 50k miles. Top it off as needed and you shouldn't have any issues. Brake fluid breaks down over time and becomes less compressible, but it takes a lot of time/work to get to that point. Frankly the only time you probably ever change it is the day you put some new brake lines on the car, and at 15 years/50k miles, that would be maybe 2061?

For the "maybe possibly" oil leak. Don't worry about it. Unless you see puddles under the car, you're fine. Not really sure what anyone would even do to fix a "maybe possibly" oil leak. Meaning that the process of replacing gaskets and seals is a bit overkill for a small leak that doesn't even leave puddles.

I wouldn't worry about the car. Not enough miles on it to matter, hell it's a Honda, it won't be broken in until you hit 100k.

And an oil leak isn't going to ruin any transmission. That's just them making stuff up to scare you.
