right where you pour oil in,by the cap,i have a stain. it seems to be a leak,but i dont know where to look or how to open it up. i check oil from time to time and it doesnt seem to be decreasing rapidly or nothing. so should i worry? cause i do.

 

There's a little rubber around the oil cap.... maybe there's something wrong with yours.... ...some oil coming out of that.....

you should ride a bicycle

 

true i should,right over your face.

when i said 'open' i meant incase i had to open and work on the big block. but i'll ride the bike over your face though. thanks for your two cents


btw: i hope it IS something small as the rubber to the cap. honda should have them handy right?

Like your mom rode my face???

But seriously.... if it's not the rubber seal I'll be surprised. At worst (and I have no idea how you could do this) your valve cover is cracked. Visually inspect both seal and valve cover.

 

thats nasty.

i planned on cleaning that stain,but never did. any special way to approach it? i was just gonna dab it with a cloth. then see if it comes back after whatever else i do

 

If it's on the valve cover... use whatever you want. Try simple green or some other degreaser.
