So my car has been pretty bad about burning oil ever since i got it about a year ago, but lately it's gotten a lot worse. I changed the headgasket out about 6 months ago and I accidentally put it on the wrong way and i had an oil leak coming from between the head and the block. I got a new head gasket and used some copper spray (head gasket sealer) and it was fine ever since.

Now about 2 weeks ago I noticed my oil consumption has increased, I changed my oil and 600 miles later the light comes on whenever i brake hard or make a sharp right turn. Sometimes when the car is in neutral the oil light will start hyperblinking or the light will be very faint, and there's a very strong smell of burning oil.

I took a look at it this morning and there's an oil leak between the head and the block, same spot where it was before. I checked to see if my oil pressure sensor was leaking at all and it wasn't. I'm thinking maybe my head needs to be milled, but i'm not 100% sure

Any help or input you guys have would be awesome. I plain on doing a h-swap this winter but i need my engine to last until then.

i had the same problem with my 94 coupe. I since then have installed the H22 but im interested in what the actual problem is. If you want it to last just make sure you put about a quart of oil in about every week depending on the pace of the leak.

That's what I end up doing, but I'd rather fix the problem than adapt to it. I'm wondering if that head gasket sealer you can pour in the radiator would help this? As a last resort I'll just get the head milled or just get a new one depending on the cost

I don't even bother with headswaps, i'd rather just put another engine in. Just me.

Well until I can afford a new engine I'd like to do something about this. Has anyone had this problem before and knows what to do about it?

You can't just put a new headgasket on it. You have to have the head reconditioned.

try cylinderheads.com or just google or search for it.

I've never had a head reconditioned before and i've never had this problem. I'll take it to my local machine shop sometime this week and get it checked out. I need to replace my valve stem seals as well so i'll just do it all while the head is off.

check the cam seal,balancer shaft,the o ring at the dizzy ect... thats what was leaking on my 94 accord.
