got a 97 Accord with horrible oil leaks
This thing runs like a dream. 180k miles on it and i'm giving it to my son. problem is that it leaks oil like an old MG i used to have. so i took it to a shop and they changed out the oring behind the oil filter housing. but there are still multiple leaks. so i am goign to take it to the car detailing place witht he engine steam wand to get it clean.
so i am going to be replacing a bunch of seals and gasket. does anybody have a list of parts for me to work off of? i will add the UV dye to my oil so i can spot the leaks.
the son's housing at college will fine him for having a car that leaks oil. this is a real problem as they can ban his car from the parking garage.
hoping to get this thing buttones up and no oil leaks (mostly) in the next month so he can go off to summer school.

Getting it nice & clean then pinpointing the location of the leaks is exactly what you need to do. There's so many possibilities that some kind of parts list will probably send you on some wild-goose chases. You ought to start with a good idea of the location first.
I'm moving this to General Tech where more people will see it, especially people who have ever owned a 5th-generation Accord (not me). The "new member" area is mostly for welcome & introductions.

If the first one gets stolen, he could always pick the second up into the trunk as he leaves the parking spot ... yup, a PITA but it's sure and cheap.
