help.....my block is leaking
well i was changing my oil yesterday on my civic( its a 00Si with a B18c1~boosted). I have alotta oil around my oil pan and it is driping from there and around there. Im also starting to have a oil leak from were the dipstick is connected to the block. --Im more concerned about this--
I tightend the bolts around the oil pan to see if this will work out. My car is lowerd to so it might be hitting bumps.
I no its normal for civics to leak or burn oil but is this problem normal??
please help
thanks

Probably just need to replace the oil pan gasket. I have a 99 Si and mine started to leak around 135,000 miles...

Re: help.....my block is leaking
there is some oil on the side of the tranny closest to the exhaust. Gears shft smooth and everything. New ACT clutch about 10K miles ago. But it could be oil blowin on the tranny(since it blows back on the exhaust and everything else). Im hoping its not the rear main seal that would cost some money.
What could be the cause the leak around the dipstick?? and could this end up being a serious problem. Yes im goin to get it fixed im just waiting on a job as of right now to get money

Do you have a breather can setup? It could also be a combination of a rear main seal and a crank seal. Or maybe just a new oil pan gasket. I would suggest getting a good breather can setup and changing the oil pan gasket.

i dont have a breather set-up or anything, ill look into the new oil pan gasket. i was tolded running a hose from the intake pipe to the back of the stock valve cover might do something to help . But im not sure.
