Default need more info on oil leak problem...

ok i got a massive oil leak and ive done replaced the valve cover gasket and the oil pan gasket and the rear main seal gasket..... Im guessing its the damn oil pump but need to know if that could be a problem and is there anywhere else oil could leak from before i start take a look a the oil pump..? any info would help..

my suggestion to you is clean your motor. clean it really good. once all the oil has been removed then periodically check on the motor. eventually the motor will leak again, with it being clean it will be alot easier to spot.

to ask us to figure it out with out see the car is impossible. all we can do is speculate, and even then we can be wrong.

if the leak is where the engine and tranny meet, then it's not your pump since the pump is on the opposite side.

have you replaced the distributor seal or o-ring? what about the cam caps on the side? is it a vtec motor?

is the oil leak on top of the motor where they meet, or the bottom?

if it is around where the motor meets the trans, and it is not coming from the top, it is most likely the rear main seal...

ok, ill say this again... REAR MAIN SEAL. It is the only thing in there that can leak... Maybe you dicked it up when you replaced it. I know I wouldn't let you replace mine.
