Default My Accord Is Dying

My automatic 1990 Ex just got back from the mechanic and he said thatit was leaking oil "everywhere it possibly can, except from the filter". The repair cost would be $1900. He showed me how he would have to remove the transmission to get to one of the leaks etc etc. I believe him, and plan on driving it until it drops and I can buy a 99-03 accord. Is there anything I can do to reduce the ammount of oil that is leaking while I am still driving it? The oil stain on my driveway is extremely annoying. Thank you in advance.

The best way I found to stop oil leaks is to let it all leak out . Then you can buy your newer Honda after it dies. Good luck!

There is an oil additive you can buy that is supposed to help stop leaks.
Here are a few links:

http://www.stp.com/oil_stop.html

I don't know if these really work, but they are cheap. So, if I were you I would probably try something like this first.

good luck
