What are the common places for an oil leak in 1994 Honda Accord 2.2 engine?
I'm not good with vehicles. I'm experiencing with oil leek. It's not too bad during the winter months, but it's goes through a quort or two during warmer months. I don't see any residue near manifold area or the oil pan. If there any other places? Any recommended would be greatly appreciated!
Valve cover gasket. Front oil seal. Rear oil seal. Oil pressure sensor.
Front and rear engine seals, oil pan, oil pressure sensor switch, engine gaskets, etc.
The first step is to put a large piece of cardboard under your car at night. This will tell you exactly where the leaks are, if there are any. If there's nothing, maybe your car is just burning oil. I've learned over the years that sometimes it's cheaper to just refill what's leaking than to get it repaired. And oil is pretty cheap. The good news is that you will be putting in fresh oil all the time.
When you don't change the oil every 3,000 miles a motor will start burning oil when it gets around 90,000 miles on it. Don't let the oil level on the dipstick get more than halfway down between the upper and lower dipstick marks or the motor will start burning oil at a faster pace.
How do you you're not burning it?
- Reliable places to buy used motorcycles? If this helps, I want a Honda CBR600rr, abs if i can get it. I want it used, the max Id spend on the bike is $5,000 - $6,000. I'm not sure if craigslist is a reliable place, and isn't the dealership expensive? Don't say cycle world they have horrible reviews. BUT Help?
- 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?
- My 1995 Honda civic 1.5L recently wouldn't start an hour after a common commute? The fuel and air are not the problem. I'm not getting a spark. The engine cranks but will not start. I have already replaced the ignition control module and have tested the ignition coil. I don't believe it is anything to do with timing because it has no problems with skipping and such. Without replacing the entire distributer what else could be the problem?
