hey yet another thing wrong with my car.

my car has been dripping oil for a while (not while i drive only when the car is parked) and it will drop oil here and there. the idiots at the honda barn told me it was a head cover gasket, and while i've been tremendously lazy (had the part for almost 2 months) in putting it in, i noticed this weekend that that's not where the leak is. it seems to be the pan. Any advice?

 

Replace the pan gasket.

 

I believe i have the sameproblem with my 90 accord i wouldnt worry about it unless u plan on keeping that engine/ car for awhile drive it till it goes thats what im doing till i swap for an H22 or K20 engine just add oil here and there it wont hurt the engne aslong as you add some oil here and there

 

Are you very sure it's the pan gasket? Is the area clean enough to trace it? does it come from the front or side or back? I'm jsut wondering if it is the gasket and not a seal that's starting to wear. Just something that came to mind when I read your post.

 

I just add oil here and there im not replacing it theres no point seeing how i'm swapping it neways, i thinkit could be the seal on my problem wardy i dont know though....

 

.....O.K.


leaking oil is BAD people ! for you for your car and for the environment.

find the leak - and replace what is needed! trust me!

 

it is bad but if its not a big leak its no worries lol aslong as ur not like dripping oil like crazy driving down the roads
