Hello Folks,
I really need your help. I found this small puddle of oil under neath my car's engine. Below is the information:

Model: Honda Accord 2004 EX (v-tech 4 Cylinder)
Mileage: 170,000 Miles
Replaced: V tec solenoid gasket were replaced after engine oil was observed.
Location Engine oil leak: Passenger Side Engine.
Suspected area level: Below Valve cover Gasket. The gasket seems to be dry.

V-tech solenoid and Valve cover gasket seems to be dry. Oil observed not to be transmission fluid upon inspecting the fluid colour.

I'm really having a hard time finding out where the leak is coming from the engine.

I'd appreciate your expert ppl's health in this debilitating matter.

Cheers
Tim

 

A picture or two of the area is needed.

 

oil runs down , not up,,i would do the valve cover any way, as above,,a picture would be great good luck.

 

And one more thing to check - the oil pressure sending unit is in that general area and over time will begin to leak.

 

Hello Folks,
Thank you so much for your response. Since I have too many snapshots I had to resort to put the images on the cloud via dropbox. Please click on the link below where you can download and also view all the images.

Hello Poorman2012
Not sure where the oil pressure sending unit is located on the side of the engine (passenger area)?
I also noticed that for some reason the oil is some how spluttering everywhere..I saw oil on the inner side of the body of the car as well. Which meant that the oil not only is it dripping downwards but also has a spluttering effect whereby only is not just seeping down.
any thoughts?
Cheers
Tim

In one of many pics the oil pressure switch looks fine - plastic "boot looking" thing near the oil filter. By the pics it looks like it is coming higher up.

You stated the vtec gasket was replaced, is this the one on the back of the head? What about the o-ring on the vtc oil control valve?

 

Hello Poorman212
Sorry I meant the Vtec Solenoid oil control valve O-ring gasket was replaced. Not the head gasket.

Yes it seems its coming above the plastic "boot looking" thing near the oil filter. I've been searching with a search light and I just cant find where the oil is leaking from.

Cheers

Can you take some pictures from further back? It i hard to figure out what we are looking at when you zoom in.

From the closeups, the oil seems to be leaking from the side of the engine with the timing chain cover.
