I took my car in today to get my first oil change and to have the dealership address buzzing in the dash; basically a standard deal. I got a call from them before I went to go pick it up, and they said that I've got an oil leak behind the engine at the i-VTEC switch, and maybe even behind the timing cover. They said they had a few cars come in with this, and it's usually a crushed gasket/faulty VTEC switch installed at the factory. Regretably, the part will be in monday, and I'll have to take the car in, but it is covered under waranty.

Bottom line is, has anyone else had this problem? I think I saw something on here regarding something similar with the Si (I'm not thinking about the LX/EX oil leak though). I added a quart at about 20% oil life because the oil levels were low, but I wasn't worried because so many people have had the same problem with the Si burning oil. Apparently I should have been worrying.

Any ways, thankfully the Tech noticed it, and we are getting it replaced soon. I also found out that they've installed many Comptech superchargers in house on brand new Si's .

 

for the tech

now since everyone here calls and bitches at honda when they F up
you should call honda corp and say how happy you are with the tech & dealer

Seriously. I already have a start of a letter right now

Of course I'll have to revise it in the morning. I'm 4 rum and cokes into the night. It's been a rough one today

I second that letter notion

 

Thats good news. I wish the service department here was that good.
