Hi all,
I've got a 92 Accord LX with ~163k on it. Recently I've noticed an oil odor coming through the air vents when I'm sitting at a stop light or idling in general. Once I pick up speed, or I throttle up slightly while idling, the oil smell disappears. I usually don't smell it when I'm doing short, less than 4 mile trips, however, it seems a lot stronger after a fifty to sixty mile jaunt. The engine does seem to burn about a quart of oil every 2000 miles. I changed the oil just a few days ago, which didn't help the smell at all. I've got 5W-30 in it. In addition, I've noticed a drip or two of oil leaking, but it is very sparse so far. Any ideas?

Also, the driver side front caliper is definitely sticking, and doesn't want to fully release. Are there any good tutorials on rebuilding one, is it worth it? Should I just get a new one? I've had to replace the pads because it was wearing the old ones down. I thought that pushing the caliper back to position 0 would possibly break something up, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Thanks

Could be your oil pressure sending sensor leaking, Headgasket, or the valve cover gasket. I had the same problem but mine turns out to be the oil cooler seal.
