New Integra
I just bought a new Integra with 160k miles. It was fine until I drove it for awhile.
We checked and it has a leak from the oil pan, and once the engine heats up it smokes bad from the bottom. Could it be the heat from the motor burning up the oil?
The fool before me also has RAM AIR (not cold air because it doesn't go down into the bumper) Can this be hard on the motor because of sucking in warm air from the motor, It didn't come with an "ICE BOX" guard or anything its just a filter sitting there with a pipe.

Will you make something up for me please?

Re: New Integra (ahrpr)
So where exactly is it leaking from? The oil pan gasket? Just replace it. Where is it smoking from exactly? What color smoke?
What exactly do you mean by "ram air"? Do you mean, it had some sort of hood scoop channeling air into the motor through a pipe? That is technically what ram air would be. If it just has a filter on the end of a pipe, it doesn't do any harm. In fact, many members here do that. It does not harm the motor in any way, it operates like a short ram intake (only without the fancy plastic/metal tubing).
I'd concentrate on finding out where the leak is coming from, and trying to fix that first.

i think you meant short ram right? that thing your talking about is not an "ice box" its just a p.o.s. airbox. sucking in hot air doesnt matter as long as its air. your oil leak might just be a bad oil pan gasket that needs replacing.

Re: (LoudLude)
Yeah the leak is from the back of the oil pan where the gaket is, we are trying to do some stuff like oil thickener stuff that will find the hole and seal it, i will just go get a new gasket if its fucked. I think the pan has a dent in the bottom of it too. Its small but a dent. The leak is making the smoke. Yeah its air intake from ebay it looks like (sorry for misunderstanding.)
Can I still fix the oxygen sensor though, it looks like they took the plug and pulled the pins out of it and then put it back together. The plug is intact and there isn't a broken plug.
Is there any way to take apart the plug part and reinsert the pins into it?
