I have a Honda Civic 94 Hatchback and it's leaking something. It's not oil because I have checked it if it has been loosing oil but it hasn't. What else could it be leaking? Or is it burnt oil?

Oil or transmission fluid. Get under the car and see where its coming from.

Get underneath ur car and see if u notice any oil markings. If u do that then ushould be able to see the area that the oil is coming from. It could be brake fluid. Oil power stearing fluid. Transmission fluid. Anything really

just because the oil level hasn't dropped doesn't mean it's NOT oil..... assuming the engine is very clean spray some brake clean on the known leak places ex:cam seal vtec sol, distributer, etc

Thanks guys. I'll get under the car and see where it might be leaking at this afternoon.

Use 3' x 3' piece of cardboard and paint it white or use white poster-board. Mark front, back, passenger and driver side respectively on cardboard or poster-board. Stick it under the car and leave it there for 30 minutes. Take a pic of the cardboard and post it for us.

Where's the leak coming from?

B_Swapped93

you have to say from where.... cmon we can't see unless you take a pic

It looks like it's a bad oil pan seal is there anywhere else in that area it could be leaking from ?

dwashy21

Not sure, but I think that oil pan seal is a bitch to replace

B_Swapped93

in theory the rear main seal and on the other side the oil pump seal/gasket. but it's more then likely the pan gasket.

EGToFlyy

is the pan gasket hard to replace? or do you recommend me take it to a mechanic?

B_Swapped93

no it's like 10-12 8mm bolts you'll need to drop the exhaust manifold to drop the pan not hard. Just be really carefully when you're tightening the bolts after you replace it they like to snap/strip easily.

Thank you for the help. I'm going to try to fix it soon.
