Default 2002 V6 Accord sedan OIL LEAK

Take a look at the pics. The leak has been going on for 4 years now but has recently been leaking a lot more, a lot faster. Could it be the oil pan gasket? the head gasket? I don't know.. Any information would be greatly appreciated.





The leak is in the vicinity of the piece of wood

LOL -pictures are always helpful however I think pictures of the motor would be a tad bit better.

Get a picture of under the distributor, I am going to guess that area is going to be covered in wet oil.

It's best to take some picture from under the hood and underneath. Edit: yours is a 2002. Can't see with my poor vision and small screen IPad.


Your 2002 V6 doesn't have a distributor, so the leak will be someplace else.

have you opened the hood to see if you can locate the leak ??
and I agree with other members we need to see inside the engine compartment

I suspect the leak is coming from that cable going into the transmission. Have you checked the transmission fluid level? My 03 has a very slow leak at that same place. Haven't figured out how to change the seal (O-ring I presume).
