I finally figured out my oil leak. I got it on a lift and they said its the oil filter housing gasket....Does anyone know where I can get this part or just the whole housing all together?

 

You mean the oil cooler o-ring? 3-4$ from a dealership - or use san-leandro (slhonda.com) or majestic honda if you want it online.

 

i dont know is that the same thing?

 

that's the hidden leak people don't see

 

but is oil cooler o-ring same as oil filter housing gasket? thats what the guy at midas called it. i dunno if there is different names for it and i want to be sure before i order it

 

the oil filter gasket? just get a new oil filter....it should have the little gasket in the inside....it shouldn't cost much at all....go to an indylube or mobile1 store or something....i bet your oil leak is bad....my galant had the same problem.

 

I bet your mechanic is just calling the oil cooler an "oil filter housing", and the O-ring is what you need.

 

well i am sure that he is referring to the place where the oil filter is screwing into. is that called the oil cooler b/c if it is than i got my problem solved

 

yeah the filter screws onto the oil cooler. The cooler comes off, and there is a gasket between the cooler and the engine block.

Here's a recent thread of that problem : https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1119603

 

THANKS A LOT....Consider the thread closed.
