i was changing my breaks and then i saw that there was oil residue everywhere.
hopen the hood. same thing and it looked like it came out of the distributor seal. fixed it. and use added more oil because i was low 2 quarts. drove it around the block then came back. oil was was still leaking. i just hope it's not a head gasket and this weekend is all rain with no garage. so i can't do a compression test. what do you guys think it is. i'm so stuck. need help

 

How much oil did you loose when you drove round the block??

I would check the basics, oil filter tight and in one piece? Oil drain plug tight? Look for broken hoses.

I would fill the oil level back up. Start the car and let it run with the hood open, see if you can see a leak. BE VERY CAREFULL!!!!!!!! If oil is squirting out shut the car down as the hot oil will burn you.

 

no sign of squirting up. under the hood is dry but from the vc down it's all oil. vc gasket was just changed about a month now. i haven't checked on the oil but then i started to have problems with my timing. what a night from a simple oil change.. can't figure what else i'll check in the rain for hoses but i don't think there's any oil hoses, only antifreeze hoses? correct? i did check on the oil filter and it's bone dry. my whole entire trany is soaked in oil and half of the block is soaked in oil. don't know where it's coming from.

 

Cam cap seal???? But that seems like a huge amount of oil from there.

I think you are right about the oil lines, but hey it is allways worth throwing some ideas out.

 

yea thanx man really appriciate it i'm going to sit at the car wash today. what the engine and then just let it run and see where the oil is coming from. hope it's not going to be any leak.

Are you sure the VC gasket was replaced correctly? I had a place supposedly replace mine during a scheduled maintenance and then apparently all they did was put A LOT of hondabond

 

it's been raing and no garage. so i'm going to have to sit at a carwash to check everything out. sucks. but thanx i dind't think of check the vc gasket.

 

it was the vc. thanx man didn't even think of it. oil leak done.

 

no prob
