I noticed A LONG *** time ago that my motor burned oil.... LSvtec. Whatever its inevidable.... But I also have a bit of a leak. Changed the camseals as i thought it was coming from them. Didnt seem to solve the problem, and seems to actually be worse now..

The oil keeps dripping from the corner of the oil pan off of my traction bar to the floor.... It actually shoots up the entire front of the block when I drive on the freeway too so its starting to **** me off. I have a hunch it may be coming from behind the crank pulley...

This is why i started the thread.... Is this even possible???? I felt along the back of the pulley and its pretty bad. After looking at www.acuraautomotiveparts.com I couldnt find a seal for the crank pulley??? I really dont know whether or not its truly coming from there or not anymore.. Thoughts????

I believe there is a crank seal, in the oil pump.

Or it could be a crack in either the pump, or the block.

Good luck.

the oil pump or crank seak is kinda like the cam seals you did. and it resides behind the crank puley and sprocket.

i have the same problem. will changing the oil pump help? already changed the oil pan gasket and that didnt help.

you said its might be worse now after replacing cam seals. how far in did you install the cam seals?

The cam seals were done back in september. I didnt mean that literally. Sorry I meant that it hasnt improved since I did them.. Plus when I look now theres no pool of oil on the gridlines behind the cam gears, or in the grooves below where it used to build up.

I spoke with a friend/shop owner. He said he wants to pull off the crank pulley and plastic housing and see if it may be the front main seal...If so Im gonna have to swap out the timing belt earlier than expected but at least I will be fixing the problem though... I should have some news by then.
