Car Forum / Honda Cars / November 2007D15B2 Engine Oil Leak
I actually have two cars with a similar problem. The oil pump has a little knob or bump on the bottom ... and I have oil dripping off of that and off of the oil pan. It does NOT look like the oil is coming down from where the crank comes through the oil pump. So, am I right in thinking that this is an oil pan gasket issue and NOT an issue with the oil seal where the crank goes through the oil pump? The area under between the oil pan and oil pump is definitely wet but again, nothing seems to be coming from above from the area of the oil seal. Thanks much!

Valvoline MaxLife 5w-30. I've been using that it both cars for at least a year. >> I actually have two cars with a similar problem. >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > what oil are you using? > Valvoline MaxLife 5w-30. I've been using that it both cars for at least a > year. try a different oil. my 89 civic was pissing oil from the main seals when i first got it 3 years ago, and continued to piss oil with motorcraft "semi-synthetic", but after a couple of weeks with castrol gtx, it dried right up. 55k miles later, i still haven't needed to install the seals i bought. it's not perfectly dry, especially since i'm currently experimenting with mobil 1, but there are no spots on the driveway. try it before you start swapping seals. check gasket bolts too - not too tight, but not loose. >>> I actually have two cars with a similar problem. >>> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >>> seal. >> what oil are you using? |
