I just bought a 01 accord ex coupe with the v6.It is leaking oil as the pan is wet with fresh oil..I cleaned all of it and ran it to find the leak.Only place I see leaking is the oil pan bolts themselves,they are all tight.Is this common ?Can I reinstall bolts with some thread sealer or dos it need a complete pan sealant change?
I also found oil leaking from cam seals?It's the drivers side front head (on the end ).How hard is that to fix?? Any help would be highly appreciated!

 

Hmmm, something doesn't sound quite right; how many miles on the engine, has it been overheated at some point?

 

Not that I know,but I do know the timing belt,water pump and cam seals have been replaced..It was like 2 yrs ago.Car runs awesome.Only 110k on it..

 

If the oil pan is leaking, use a new liquid gasket on the oil pan. Use either Hondabond HT or Permatex Ultra Grey. Hondabond is easier to work with though.

 

Thanks,that's my question..The gasket isn't leaking,it's seeping around the bolts..

 

Here's a pic.

Seeping around the bolts; still doesn't sound right. Could it be the crush washer of the drain plug leaking and the oil blowing under the pan and back up to the bolts?

 

Well,I've been watching the plug and it's definitely coming from the bolts so far..I read somewhere to put honda bond on bolts also?I know there shouldn't be oil leaking from anything above the bolt,but maybe they didn't run their bead of honda bonds correctly around all bolt holes and it's leaking from the side of bolt,and leaking down the bolt??Is there a write up on pan removal anywhere,I can't find one..
