i've done my oil pan at least 5 times now. i've come to the conclusion that it's behind the crank shaft pully. tomorrow i'm going to rip it all apart again. i'm just wondering how many seals is there around the oil pump area? i know there is a o-ring type seal on the crankshaft/center of the oil pump but what other ones is there that could possibly be leaking or that need to be changed. i'm asking because i'd like to order this stuff and have it in as soon as possible. thank you.

 

it could also be the cam seals.

 

yea any other ideas? are you suppost to use any type of hondabond or RTV with any of the oring style seals?

 

so on the side of the block with the timing belt..
the only things that could be leaking above the oil pan rim line is.
-cam seals
&
-seal on the crankshaft/in the oil pump housing

 

I have come to the same conclusion about my oil leak issue. I noticed the car only leaks oil when its running. I have a 94 GSR I replaced my oil pan gasket 2 weeks ago. From what I have read the Cam seals are more common to leak first before the oil pump seals. Also there are 2 oil seals on the oil pump that can leak but not likely to do so. You got the main Crank o-ring where the crank pully is and another o-ring that is located on the neck (upper right corner) of the oil pump. I think the best way to find out is first take off the valve cover and check the Cam seals first, then check the oil filter and oil pressure sensor, if those three items check out then its the oil pump seals. Thats what Im doing this weekend. If I find out what it is ill post it up Sunday.
