Just bought a integra, The thing is leaking oil like crazy! it got an oil change not to long ago and still need 2k for the next oil change and engine Dipstick is dark brown,almost black and running low on engine oil...

Can someone please help me!? is my engine F^cked up or needs a rebuilt?

The car doesnt feel like its messed up... Drives really strong and doesnt heat up, but leaks quarts of oil and the dipstick is near black... HELP!!!

 

need more info like type of motor do u see oil leaking is it blowing smoke how does it idle on average how much oil is it lossing every week or so. Just what ever you can think

 

you should clean up the motor and see where it is coming from..

the cam plug, cam seals and valve cover gasket may be your prob

 

you could be leaking oil from alot of places. cleann it up and tell us where its coming from

 

well i just bought it yersterday... The weird thing about it is, it only starts leaking when i drive it... once the engine cools off it stops leaking... Its dripping from the passengers side behind/near the axel, the car doesnt smoke or anything but the engine oil is dark brown and barely has 1k on the oil change....

I got a 97 Integra LS

 

huh by the pass axles dunno that would mean tranny leak but if u cant tell where it is and its around that area i would guess rear main seal. i replaced mine when i rebuilt my motor so it was a bit easy but it was leaking under the engine between the tranny and the block somewhat near where your talkin about. Is it leaking anywhere else but there.

 

no, just on that spot, What i also noticed is that the engine oil is running low already and will need to fill it up again soon...

did your engine have dark brown oil ?

 

it could be your oil pan. when my oil pan was leaking it would get on the axle (probably from the wind while driving). Can you smell that burnt oil smell when you drive?

 

it seems to be leaking from the tranny... looks like some case with bolts by the passengers side... I also noticed why my engine has dirty oil... The AEM CAI is really dirty inside... and also my intake has a hole... So now i'm thinking i am going to have to get a new intake, have the throttle body cleaned and have the engine flushed, and the tranny checked...
