I have a 95 sedan, stock f22b2 engine with 243k on it. I just replaced a bent valve, timing belt, oil pan, and all my gaskets and now my car is leaking oil really bad. about a quart every 100 miles.

I used that uv dye kit to find out where the leak is and all i found out was it's coming from behind my intake mani and it's leaking onto the back of my header. The valve cover gasket is fine, but i cant find this leak anywhere, if anyone has any ideas or anything that could help please let me know!

It's coming from above the oil filter, and it's on a lot of the hoses behind the intake. do any of these hoses carry oil in them, or could it be something else? I cant find this leak for the life of me.

After reading this, I believe my leak is coming from the oil pressure sender. I'm still unsure of the location for the oil pressure sender, so it'd be really cool of someone to help me out with a diagram =D

Right above the oil filter. Remove the filter and you will see it. Might still have a rubber glove on it.

sorry i dont have a diagram for you but only the words "stick your hand in there" clean EVERYTHING .its really hard to spot an oil leak when theres oil everywhere. clean it all budy and youll have a better chance at locating the leak.

I took the filter off and found the sensor, it's completely dry -____-

The leak looks like it's coming from the transmission side of the engine, but still behind the intake. Honestly, I'm stumped, I'm going to clean everything like MACH 7 said and see if I can spot anything. Wish me luck!

if its a vtec it could be from the solenoid. sounds like to me. maby even the valve cover gasket. those are really funky to put on. i recomend a genuine honda gasket.

f22b2 is non-vtec, so I have no solenoid for it to leak out of. I'll look at it again today and let you guys know what i come up with

So I double checked my oil pressure sensor and it's bone dry. The leak is a little higher than the sensor its self though. is it possible my head bolts where not torqued right and it's coming from between the head and the block? I checked everything else and that's the only thing i can think of that would cause this leak. please, help a brother out!

I found the leak, it's coming from behind my intake mani on the side closest to the dizzy. I can't tell if it's coming from the mani or from between the head +block, but the bolts for the intake are all torqued to specs. After looking at some pictures of the back of the head and intake manifold, I think my intake gasket is leaking from one of the ports that goes from the head into the intake. Auto part store is closed on Christmas -____- so I guess I'll be finishing this up tomorrow =(

This right here.

The intake mani has nothing to do with oil leak. Now if it's a coolant leak, I can see why an IM would be the culprit, but I doubt it in this case. But hey, I can be wrong.

hondawhiz

your right the intake manifold won't make it leak oil and none of those hoses contain oil the other thing might be the distributors o ring. Or oil filter. Maby double gasket

If it is coming from between my head and block what would be the cause of this? Should I have to take the head off to fix this?

First thing that comes to mind is the head gasket is on backwards. This is actually possible.

j4s0n1337

I have a feeling it is -____- Hopefully it's not raining tomorrow (my only day off) and I can get this over and done with.

j4s0n1337

I'm taking the head off today to finally fix this leak, anyone want to show me how the head gasket goes on the RIGHT WAY, cause apparently I cant even do that right, lol.
