92 Accord leaking oil
Hello folks,
My accord is leaking oil, I'd say about 3-6 drops a day on the pavement. I just replaced the valve cover gaskets which helped a little (there was some coming out from the falve cover and dripping down on the passenger side and that has stopped) but there apears to still be some leaking out the rear drivers side of the engine:
See bellow for leaky oil area:
Please tell me this isn't the head gasket! (Ok, you can if you think it is, but I won't be happy
) What's going on here?

Thanks, I replaced the O-rings around the spark plugs along with the valve cover gasket so that's not it (oil was pooling in there...not good for spark I'm sure!) and the holes around the spark plugs are clean after two weeks.

All I can think of, in that area, is the cam, balance shaft, and crankshaft seals under the timing covers. Or maybe the head gasket, but I doubt that. If oil is getting on your timing belt, it could be bad news. Try to clean the area off (degrease) so you can better tell where the oil is coming from. Good luck

Re: 92 Accord leaking oil (BLKFLSH)
it is leaking from the cam seal..........100% ,,,seen it many many times
unless you mis-installed the valve cover gasket and pinched the corner
contrary to what it was said ,, it is not the balancer shaft seal or crank seal ,
they are below that , inside lower t-belt cover ..

Re: 92 Accord leaking oil (Mualphapiper)
So, in This parts list, is it #30? or # 5,6,7?
And will I need to remove the timing belt to replace this? Its about time to do my timing belt anyway.
