Default 1996 Accord Oil leak






I know my car has an oil leak, I'm just not sure exactly where, I took pictures of the general area where oil is leaking, I was thinking the egr but I don't think that's the full story. It also drip oil on the ground, the amount it drops depends how hard I drive the car upon parking. I recently did an oil change, and the oil filter and oil on plug are on tight with no leaks. I just need to get a general idea of what's causing the oil leak. (I'll also add the car has been sitting for two years, and had a big coolant leak (fixed, radiator and coolant pipe). I've now had it for 5 months.

See that curved blue/green piece of gasket sticking out?
I'm going to go with, your vavle/cam cover gasket is broken and is severely leaking.

Use some green cleaner(409/simple green) around where all the oil is, let it soak in for a few minutes and then wash it down with the garden hose. Go for a drive around the block and albeit that massive puddle of oil will be back in short order.

That makes perfect sense, I'm shocked I didn't notice that (I'm still a noob). Thanks so much for the solution .
