There is an abundance of information to be found on these forums. Chances are, if you have a problem, you'll be able to find an answer by using the search option.

Most likely, your oil leak is coming from the oil cooler o-ring that is behind the housing that your oil filter screws onto. Very, very common problem for these Preludes. Do a search and read up.

As for your idle problem; is the idle bouncing up and down?

 

yeah the tach goes up and down and black smoke rolls out of the exhaust it looks like a diesel lol.

 

bouncing tach is fitv and/or iacv, i fixed both in my car problem solved, black smoke is you map sensor, check the vac lines, solved the problem in my car, oil leak is o-ring from oil cooler, 3.50 from honda takes 20 mins to fix including oil change.

 

what he said.

 

thanks alot. but im not too sure about the oil leak tho.
