1996 Accord EX Vtec engine oil leak-205,000 miles
Oil leak appeared after timing belt and water pump were replaced at 190,414.
Crankshaft seal, camshaft seal and balance shaft seal were replaced at the time.
After complaining about the oil leak, shop replaced balance shaft gear case and gasket for $285 (parts only). Labor of $311 was not charged. This was determined after a dye test.
Leak still there at 205,000 miles. Any ideas? Would a head gasket leak cause this? There is no loss of coolant visible and no burning of oil on plugs. Car runs great, 30 mpg, just leaks oil. See photos attached.

After a recent rebuild I am having an identical oil leak and can't find the source.
Please let me know if you find out what the cause of the leak is!!

Re: 1996 Accord EX Vtec engine oil leak-205,000 miles
i have a 1996 honda accord 6 cylinder 24 valve 2.7 liter and i just replaced the oil pan gasket and oil sending unit and oil filter. Now we have noticed that the leak is coming from the oil filter housing. i think the gasket there is no good. does anyone have any clue how to fix this or where to get that gasket?

Oil Filters are $6 just have someone unscrew old one and replace it. In my 90 accord I can reach in there and do it in 10 minutes.
