Default Leaking Oil!!!! Help me now!



Ok, so I did a research and found out that the prelude oil filter gasket goes bad so I replaced it with the brand new one. the old one had a crack and that's where I thought it was leaking oil. I also replaced the oil level sensor. Yesterday, There was no leak in my knowledge but I can still smell the oil burning. I checked my oil level today and it is almost empty... below the dot line!!.. What may be the problem? Also the very funny thing is that when I'm making a hard left, I hear click click click noise. I just replaced with rebuilt axles and new shocks and spring all around.. Help me H-T members!!

I'm having the same problem.. been 2.5 months now, still no fix. It's not the rear main seal, if you have the same problem. Mine was replaced twice. :/

The click click is the CV boot, which I also had replaced. lol

your going to have to get under the car and find where its coming from.

Alot of the time the headgasket will leak on the passenger side of the block but usually wont be pooring out...

if by the oil filter gasket you mean the gasket that's between the cylinder where the sending/return lines go and the block, i had the same problem (4qts<50 miles). All I did was take that housing off, clean both surfaces with brake cleaner, and apply a fairly think coat of copper RTV to the block side, smeared with my finger, got rid of the excess and re-installed it. hasn't leaked a drop since. plus its cheap. its like $6/tube. hope it helps cause oil leaks are teh suck for sure!
