So I have finally got sick of my integra leaking even though it's a minor leak. I know that the cam seal tend to leak oil on these engines but Ive checked and I didn't see and sort of leaking. Do you guys think it could be the oil drain plug or the oil pan gasket?

Clean around your oil pan and see if it leaks there. If its not then it could be coming from the back of the block between the oil filter and the block. I think its called the oil cooler gasket. How much miles do you have on your motor?

no oil cooler on the 96+ gsr. pan gaskets are common leaks however. they get very brittle with age.

Would it be hard to replace the oil pan gasket? I know a torque wrench would have to be used

my oil pan gasket is leaking for a fact i know that its oily down there.

it actually doesn't but it might not hurt if you aren't use to the feel of how tight it needs to be. the important thing is to step it in. tighten all lightly then inside out for the final torque. two stages is smart. also buy a honda replacement gasket. the felpros are similar but seem to leak easier.
