Not heard of an AT driveplate cracking on a Honda, but it could happen.
If so, it would make a racket in gear/underload. But quiet in P/N. Kind of a clanging noise. Fairly sure the plate is 0oz balance.

THIS! we use it all the time in shop, we get in so many older vehicles that have had numerous leaks, with buildup all over, & you have to pinpoint 1 bad leak that is hard to figure out with so many small leaks. it can be used for any leaks, whether power steering, tranny, oil, or antifreeze.

using dye & the special light in a dark area, the leak will pop out where it is coming from, usually we just do a 3 mile ride & check. we have found some rare interesting leaks over the years. my favorite was a rubbed pinhole in a timing cover that wasnt caught by previous mechanic, the water pump had gone bad & was wobbling, & pulley had cut a groove in timing cover in a inline 6 in a Jeep Cherokee, with 1 small spot completely worn through, then mechanic that did water pump got him for oil pan gasket & front seal, & valve cover gasket. with the dye I was able to see where it was coming from, & knew it was a problem with timing cover, or front seal, & when got it tore apart, it was easy to spot & showed customer, he has been a loyal customer every since.

Hey I have an 02 accord, just replaced the distributor O-ring hoping it would solve my oil leak, but it still drips heavily. Drips heavily after driving, and very little to none once cool.

It seems to go away under load or with any increase in pwr. But once returning to idle it will rear its head and clatter loudly. using a steth I could isolate the noise to the scatter shield area the tranny (whirs) fine the crank/pan (slops) the exhaust (blows) " ()= sounds " lol, But when you get to the cover plate inspection cover scattershield piece there is a loud screech metal on metal? but with-out the steth its a rattle/nocking sound? Any ideas.

same thing g is going on now with me leaks from the fly wheel tho I over filled n it started leaking horribly dropped it to the level its supposed to be at n it slowed down tremendously but my question is will it ever stop its been two days n every time I run it it leaks about a 50 cent piece in size is my seal needing replacement or is it possible that the oil being forced out could have pushed the seal out somewhat or distort it this has never happend before until I changed my oil pan gasket n over filled so its all to new to me n really sux Cuz I'm dreading the work to come if the seal is done for but do you think with a few days of driving it'll go back to normal or is it the tail tale sign of please replace me

Almost Junked my 94 accord because it had a serious oil leak on the tranny side and it was not that o ring near the distributor.
It was the "vtec solenoid" That is between the distributor cap and the fuel rail. Nearly mistaken for the rear main seal of death. $16 odd shaped oring both O'rileys and A.Z. told me they couldn't even order it. Got lucky and even tho I had to go to the "hub" on a sunday Orileys had it. Saved me!!!! Maybe I missed it but I saw no mention of this possibility.
