Just sold my b16 Del Sol and had to pick up a cheap daily to drive (93 civic dx bone stock). I did a minor tuneup on it which also included running some seafoam through it. I did the brake booster line, poured it into the gas tank and also into the crank case. I have a feeling that running it in the crankcase might have causes a minor oil leak to something more of a PITA. I changed the oil the next day and now I'm seeing a dollar bill size spot on my floor after driving it for a while. In the past, I've always been able to pin point the leaks. Having a little more trouble this time. Its more towards the center/passenger side of the motor. Doesn't appear to be from the oil pan. What I was wondering is if there are a lot of common areas that oil would leak from in these cars?

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks!

 

i hate oil leaks

i'd say the oil pan, but you say not
try replacing the oil cooler ring gasket

I'd probably start at the oil pan too, of course.

After you drive it for awhile and you come home, park and check every 45 minutes or so for the oil droppings, in that amount of time elapsed it'll be enough that you'll see the leak on the floor but it won't disappear from wherever it's leaking on the motor. Then just slide on under w/ a flash light and see what has oil on it...

 

Thanks for the response guys. I would love for it to be something simple like the oil pan. Worse thing is that its all rainy right now so it makes it hard to pinpoint the area its coming from. By looking at the floor though, it looks like its coming from the tranny side.
