Car Forum / Honda Cars / January 200686 accord/motor oil in air filter pan
My 86 honda accord DX is getting motor oil in the air filter pan. It seems to be leaking oil from the thermostatic air cleaner valve motor next to the air filter housing. What could be causing this? > My 86 honda accord DX is getting motor oil in the air filter pan.

It's probably clogged leading to blowback from the engine manifold. dan Worn compression rings that allow exhaust gasses into the crankcase, causing an increase in pressure which forces an oily mist into your air cleaner. I have just purchased a 86 accord (150k miles) that has been sitting for about a year. It gets a vibration when I am at a stop and have have the gear in drive, if I shift to neutral the vibration goes away. It idles at 750rpm in drive and about 1000rpm in neutral.

That's the crankcase breather pumping oil into your air cleaner. Check PCV system. If the valve is not plugged, then the engine is generating excessive blowby. As Misterbeets says, your case is most likely worn compression rings (at that age).  SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ Thank you very much.

Do I need to remove the air cleaner housing? If your car is carbureted, it's right in the top of your valve cover, with a hose going to the intake. If it's fuel-injected, it's in a web of metal between the runners of the intake manifold and may be very difficult to get at. An example of another hard one is my '91 Integra: http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/pcv-replace/index.html#replace I think yours is a metal tube-shape, not the plastic "L"-shape many other cars have. SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ DX is carbed. The PCV is roughly top center, in a small upside-down u-shaped hose. It's tough to remove, and it would be wise to replace the old hose, to make refitting easier. The hose on the VC only lets air into the crankcase, so the PCV can let it out.
