Hey guys i'm having a terrible oil leak on my 96 Accord w/ a F22b1.

From what i can tell the leak is coming from the passenger side of the motor. I can follow the leak it goes from the distributor flows down past the starter to the bottom of the transmissision mount and finally ends up at the bottom of the transmission.

Now I changed out the distributor O-ring, number 6 in the the diagram below:


The O-ring didn't do a thing, it still leaks. Are there anything else that could be the problem?

 

try cleaning the surrounding area, then take a look again,,, have you checked the valve cover? for me it was the #6 o ring when mine leaked.

It is leaking b/c the oil drips onto my garage floor. I'm kinda thinking that i didn't install the O-Ring right b/c before it would leak but not as bad as now. I also feel that the honda dealership gave me the wrong part number.

I'm pretty sure it's not the valve cover gasket but i think i'll go ahead and change it anyways.

Any other ideas?

 

Remember when replacing the valve cover gasket to put some Hondabond on the corners and the cam rolls on both sides to prevent it from leaking.

 

Ya i have a 96 accord too and i have had to change the valve cover gasket cuz i had a oil leak too that is probably where the problem is but to be on the save side change the oil pan gasket too just to be sure
