sludge build up?
 

i have a small amount of sludge build up by the oil pan on the part its 'tapped' whats going on?

my def. of sludge is oil like build up and it had a moldy like feel to it.

if its on the outside its prolly oil weeping out somewhere very slowly..

just wash that shit off. does this need to be a topic on how to degrease an oil pan?

yeah i already wiped it off, just wondering if it was anything really serious

oil outside of the oilpan is a big issue to me because all it takes is a busy week and slip of the mind and next thing you know your oil light is on.. Just because of that Thing you call a small leak

Don’t know if you have ever heard of a thing called road grime https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmileo.gif

I am pretty sure that’s all it is.... it’s a mixture of oil off the road and dirt and what ever else is on the road at the times you’re driving

hahahaha I drove a beater CRX for 2 years.... never checked or changed the oil whole time I had it https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif

Ran like a champ never had one problem with it (other than the dizzy).... actually sold it to a friend and its still running with no problems
