1997 Honda Accord Oil Leak From Timing Cover?
So last week I noticed that my car was leaking oil pretty bad. As I took a look I thought it was coming from the valve cover gasket. To ensure this, I took the car to CarX and had them look, at which point they said there was too much oil to tell where it was coming from so they had to degrease it and dye it to find out. So after this they told me drive it for a while and come back so they can trace the dye. This alone was supposed to cost me $50-$75 but there computers went down, so they couldn't charge me. I just brought it back today for them to trace the leak and they told me it was coming from behind the timing cover and it would cost me about $700 to remove the cover. May I remind you, this is only to LOOK. 700 seems kind of steep to me to still not even have the problem fixed. So please, can someone mechanically inclined give me some feedback and educated opinions on if this cost is accurate and if this sounds like it even should be a probable cause coming from a car like this? Feedback is much appreciated.
It's not just to remove it. They also need to put it back and this is where the work and materials comes in. If they DON'T put it back, the only way the car is leaving the shop is on a trailer. It's not going to be free.
- Where can I buy a 12' open aluminium boat cover and or 9.9 Honda 4 stroke motor cover? I have been looking all over for these two items but have yet to find a set of decent covers. I can find covers for boats but not for a 12' open boat with no window shield. I'm preferably looking for an outboard cover that fits over the whole motor not just the hood.
