My 99 EX Coupe started leakin oil about 2-3 weeks ago and its getting worse and worse.
I cant really tell where its comin from except for one spot, the whole underbody of my car is caked with oil from it blowing back. The majority of it seems to be coming from right in this area.




I was in a tight spot when i took the pics so theyre not the clearest but you get the idea. These are right between where the tranny hooks up to the block, the little oil droplets seem to drop where i put the red arrow. I also noticed around my slave cylinder it looks like some oil buildup to

Ive had a bad input shaft bearing for the last 6-8 months but i didnt care cause i have a brand new tranny and clutch sitting in my garage i am going to throw on. Its time to put them on now but i wanted to find out what the deal is with the oil leak so i can take care of that while im down there and have the tranny off. It seems like its motor oil is whats leakin doesnt look like nething else. If anyone could help me or give me ideas what this is id appreciate it. I wanna get my tranny/clutch on but want to solve this first.

 

i had the same thing on my car happen..i thoguht it was oil ended out just being clutch fluid...check ur resivoir and see if u have what u left it at b4...ur slave cylender looks like its looking too..

 

Have you been monitoring your transmission and engine oil? From your description of picture #2, it may a rear main seal.

 

yeah rear main seal. put a new one in when the tranny is out. you should do that any way

 

Yea the motor oil is low but not as low as i thought it would be. It could be mixed with something else, i will replace the rear main seal when the trannys dropped. Hopefully this may fix the problem.

 

Is there any oil leakage on top of the trans ? If not, its your rear main seal.

 

No nothing at all on top, just in the pics and all down the underbody of the car from blowin back. How much is a new rear main seal from honda?
