93 h22 lude with basic bolt-ons...Last night i put a piece of newspaper under my oil pan to see if there was any types of leaks. This morning there was some leakage on the newspaper. What kind of issues have you guys had with oil leaks...(minus turbo cars) and should I just let it go....because it is not very bad....?

 

drain plug, oil pan gasket, oil sending unit, and oil filter - I had trouble with first three

 

oil cooler gasket. So many h23's have had this problem. Does it drip on the pipe and make a terrible smell?

 

No, its a small leak and i think its coming from the pan.....and its an h22

 

Yes, find all leaks and clean them and keep inspecting, dont forget that Honda is also famous for distributor outer o ring and inner oil seals leaking, do you have a circular plug at the end of one of the cams.

 

what side of the motor is it coming from? could be tons of things but the oil cooler gasket or the left balancer shaft seal seem most likely. the oil pan should only leak when the car is running...the oil level with the car sitting is not high enough to touch the gasket

 

The oil is coming from the left side and have only noticed the leak when the car was turned OFF. I just place a different piece of newspaper under the car to check the leak....and its not very bad, I could leave a piece of newspaper ther e for 45minutes and nothing would drop... I only notice drops overnight.
