1999 4 cyl Oil Leak - See Pics and Video
Hello Everyone, My wifes car is leaking oil all over the place and while I know some of these pics may not be obvious I'm hopping some of you have seen stuff like this before can point me to the appropriate DIY for a fix. The car is a 1999 Accord LX 4 cyl with 170k. See the pics below. Thanks for all your help. I've also attached a youtube video they may be more helpful.

Are you due for a timing belt/ water pump change in the near future? As it looks like your front crank seal is leaking. Which could easily be done when the timing belt/ water pump is changed. In order to do this you have to take the timing belt off. The rear main seal looks to also be leaking, not so easy a job as the engine and tranny have to be separated to do this. The valve cover gasket needs to be replaced an easy DIY there is a write up in the FAQ section. It looks like there is oil dripping from the oil filter this could be just the filter a little lose or the oil pressure sending unit is right above the filter and is a common oil leak source another easy DIY. There maybe other seals leaking on the front of the engine that cant be seen until taken apart.

Front crank seal? Are you kidding me? Your valve cover gasket is bad. That's the only thing that would leak that much oil around your valve cover, and intake manifold.

front main is possible. i think more along the lines of rear main and valve cover gasket. a valve cover gasket would not leak that much on its own. because there isn't any pressure under the valve cover. also note how the oil on the head is old and caked on versus the oil all over the trans that is covered in "fresh" oil which suggests rear main
