replaced the o-ring and its still leaking i have taken it out a couple times to make sure the o-ring is properly seated and it is so im not sure what to do now?

anyone else have this issue? i was thinking about just running some honda bond around it but wasnt sure? its weird and it smells like crap bc it drips on my collector!

When I installed my catch can, i had to plug up that hole for the black box with a plug...

i used honda bond around it and now its basically baked on there and dry

Mine was leaking too. What kinda of plug did you use?

uhh i got a custom one with my custom catch can. i just reused the rubber o ring, applied a coat of hondabond around it and just tapped it in slowly...a little bit of it oozed out after i did that and i was able to use my finger to get it all the way around the seam (kinda like when you caulk a bathroom tub... )

guess nobody else has any solutions? im not talking about any catch can setup im talking about the OEM black box leaking......... guess i will just hondabond it in there........ man that stuff works wonders

i had this same problem, i had replaced the o ring. turns out that the bottom of the box where there was a seam that was supposed to be welded was cracked. and the whole time the oil was leaking from there, instead of the o-ring. i think it was from the tab where the bottom most bolt goes... hope this helps, dont have any pics.

Happened to my breather box on my '97 as well. Where the lower mounting bracket joins the box, there seems to be a couple tack welds and thats about it.

I took a breather off of a spare motor I had ('00 JDM ITR) and lone behold, the bracket has full welds around the joining area. Go figure huh? So it looks like JDM motors have a better breather box as well!

Anyhow, go look for a JDM ITR breather box, it should last the life of your car.

hmmmmm i will take it back off and check it out a little better....... ill try to weld it up and seal it first but if i have to get another i will try to find the jdm one i guess

Same with my 97. I just replaced it with a new one from the dealer.
