1994 Honda accord oil leak?
I have constantly had an oil leak that won't go away. It leaks about 1 quart every three days. Oil filter is good and so is drain plug.
If you can't find a leak that serious something is wrong. That's a bad leak. Even a half *** mechanic should be able to find that.
Buy a UV light http://www.autozone.com/...121039_0_0 and some UV oil dye http://www.autozone.com/...835775_0_0. Put it in, drive for a few minutes and light it up to show the leak.
Most likely places for oil to leak include:
Oil drain plug
Oil pan gasket
Oil filter
Front main seal
Rear main seal
Timing cover (if timing chain driven)
Valve cover gaskets
PCV valve
Dipstick tube
Oil cooler (if equipped)
Turbocharger oil feed line (if equipped)
Hi so what else would most expect from such an old car it will burn oil as well being now some 23 years old. Designed to last just 8 years. It has lasted 3 times longer than intended.
Well than where is the oil leaking from? If you can't tell don't you think it best to have a mechanic check it out instead of wasting all that money on oil?! It shouldn't cost anything to have a shop give you an estimate to fix it.
- Honda Rebel 450 oil leak? Left side of my 86 Rebel 450 seems to be leaving a little spot of oil right next to my kick stand. Bottom of crankcase cover has a little oil on it as well. Before i pull the cover, What is the leak likely coming from?
- Cost of oil leak repairs? I have a 2000 Honda CRV. I found out my car has been leaking oil from the top, left side of the engine. The leaking seems to be minimal and i haven't seen any on the ground underneath the car. I can't take it to a shop until Saturday because they're busy. I was looking for some estimates on how much it might cost to fix or what could be the problem in the first place.
- Oil leak after oil change? - 1 I bought a used 03 honda civic that needed an oil change, when i bought it no oil was leaking or anything, i took it to midas to have the oil changed and a few days after i saw oil running down the engine, its not leaking from the filter or drain plug its leaking down the engine look at the photo where the arrows are pointing is where the oil is sweeping out.
- Oil Change: Honda Motor Oil Vs Generic oil, does it make a difference? I have been getting oil changes with Honda motor oil for 15 years on my 2002 civic that now has 132K miles. If I switch to a generic $10 oil change garage shop will it still be ok? I know the Honda filters are better then the cheapest generic ones but how about the actual motor oil?
