Ok, so I bought my integra like a week ago now. It was cool at first, then I saw that someone ripped the pins out of the O2 sensor. Now my oilpan leaks like a ******* faucet. I changed the oil pan gasket twice now, still leaks even using a gasket sealer (2x). I am seriously sick of this crap. Why is it leaking even though there is a new gasket? I just wanna throw it off a cliff. /rant

 

Have you located exactly where the leak is coming from. It might not be a gasket leak. It may be the pan itself.

 

Well, it seems to be coming through the bolts themselves which i thought was odd or you know where the bolts go there is that piece of metal protruding off of the pan? Im thinking the damn pan is bad, any idea where to get a new one for cheap?

 

Try the junkyards first. If you are not able to find one try the classified forum here. If you still can't find one, check Ebay.

 

I don't think my pan is bad theres no cracks, cuts in it I don't understand how it went bad unless theres a bad weld or something.

 

bring it to a mechanic.

 

steam clean it so that everything is clean and you will be able to locate exactly where it is comming from

 

are the bolt holes stripped on the bolck, preventing it from getting a tight seal

 

Were u torqing the pan down to the right specs?

Troubleshooting sucks, but theres nothing like the feeling of finally defeating the problem.

The torque spec is 9 ft/lb and there is a specific tightening sequence. Not following it or overtorquing can cause the gasket to distort and leak.

 

You shouldn't have to use sealant either - just make sure the seating surface of the pan is absolutely clean and oil free and torque those bolts properly.

 

A little honda-bond always helps.

What is the sequence?

 

could the pan be warped maybe, dont see how it could happen if it was bolted to the car but maybe the last guy took it off and it got bent.. prolly not but wouldnt hurt to check

 

can I use a GSR oil pan or Type R oil pan?

 

WHere did you buy the gasket from?

 

o' reillys

Rubber gasket (blue)

 

get an oem gasket, do some searching around, or get a helms. Find the correct TQ and sequence.

Clean the pan and the block very well. Take you time and i bet everything will work out just fine

 

thanks a lot for your help guys. yeah the block & pan are all gunked up with silicone and junk.

 

check if the bolts are specifically for the oil pan as well. I had the same problem and bought a new oil pan and replaced about 6 oil pan bolts. I bought the car used and found out that the used the wrong bolts. The bolts were diferent lengths and just did not look like the others.
