Ok guys, I have been leaking oil like crazy lately and I recently changed my oil pan gasket and did an oil change and it is still leaking like no other. I am afraid that it might be my front or rear main seal... It is leaking on the drivers side somewhere. Any guesses what it could be?
Oh and I drive a Boosted B16 CRX and I made sure all my oil lines for the turbo were good so Im positive its not that.
Thanks for the help in advance!

 

let's hope it's the cam seals. Why don't you pull the timing covers and take a look?

 

wow that would be way nicer if it was the cam seals. I really really dont feel like taking everything apart to get to the main seals. Ima take off the timing covers tomarrow and find out whats up. Anymore suggestions what it might be or what to check?

 

Cam seals, head gasket, valve cover gasket, crank seal. Those are the gaskets left that you haven't replaced on the drivers side.
Just pull off the covers and inspect. If it is the crank seal on the drivers side, it is not too bad to replace. The camshaft seal or valve cover gasket would be what I would hope for as they are the easiest; however the crank seal is a common one to leak, and since you say it is leaking a lot, good chance it is that.

 

If you see the leak from the bottom, it's possible that it could be your drive shaft seal. It would be really close to the oil pan and can be mistaken for oil instead of manual transmission fluid.

Honda's use either 10w30/40 OR the new MTF. The shop manuals recommend the motor oil, which is what everyone and their mom really uses.

So, thats a definite possibility.

 

****. I didn't even think about that. That is a good possibilty. Im hopin for that or one of the other easy fixes other than the main seals. LOL. I will check this out tomarrow and post up what I found out. Thanks again guys. I appreciate it.

 

It physically can't be the transmission seals. Since the transmission is on the passenger side and the leak is coming from the driver side...unless you have crazy VTEC oil that goes everywhere all the time real fast .

My guess: Crank Seal.

 

there are 2 seal for the drive shaft, one on the passenger side and one on the driver side. You might want to tell us where the oils are coming from, you might want to degrease your engine bay and also the bottom side to confirm the starting point of leakage. Then we can probably point it out for you much easier.

 

**UPDATE**

Ok I found out what my problem was. I got the car in the air and started it up with my wheels off and saw oil spraying out. It was my Oil feed line for my turbo. It is a Goodrich line so Im suprised. Does anyone know if Goodrich has some kind of warranty? The line has been on my car for like 7 months... Anyone know of a website for goodrich so I can find out if there is a dealer somewhere close to me or so I can call them and explain my problem.
Thanks for the help though guys. I appreciate it.
