well i got a oil change like a mouth or 2 ago and ive had to put oil in it like every wee or two and where i park my car u can see where its leakin oil!!! well im just wonderin wat gaskets leak oil or where is a good idea where it does leak plz tell thanks!!

 

nothing no one knows??!!

 

HELP PLZ!!!

 

From the drain plug? Oil filter put on tight enough?

 

No offense man, but it is pretty easy to find an oil leak. Get under the car, find the wet spot, go to the top of it, and you found your leak. Could be ablything from the filter, to the drain plug (most common after an oil change), or some gasket that just went out.
You'll know it when you find it.

 

The drain plug. You probrably need a new crush washer.

 

well they guy that i bought the car from said that its a gasket that is where the motor and tranny come together but not sure just checkin and makin sure if theres other possible places so i know and can do myself to save money!!! but thanks for the inside!!

 

when i got my Clutch and Fly installed Honda said they replaced the Gasket between then motor and tranny... it was leaking a bit on the inside, so i would never have known... but it was good they did that... but wow that would be a biotch for labour cost to just replace that gasket...

that is where i would start

 

then i dont know y it leaks all over my concret outside could it leak from the head gasket?? i think if it leaks from the head gasket it would run hot right cuz water would get in it so i dont know if it would leak from there? is there any other places other then the head, cover, and oil pan that it could leak from??!!

hahaha!!!

 

When you did the change oil. Did you put oil on the oil filter gasket. Or perhaps the old gasket was stuck on there and you now have double gasket.

 

Or maybe you put the oil filter on too tight and damage the gasket.

If Honda charged you to replace a gasket between the tranny and motor because it leaked oil, you got screwed. There is no such thing on the Honda motors because there shouldn't be any oil between the motor and tranny. The tranny and motor contain different oils, so if a tech at Honda told you they replaced a gasket between the tranny and motor, he should be fired.

 

well i took it to wal-mart to get the oil changed bout a mouth or 2 and they said its from the oil pan gasket but not sure maybe i need to get my lazy *** under the car to see!!! but ill post up wat i think later cuz i g2g to work peace!!

dude tech's from honda/acura dealers are stupid....well most of them....my buddy went into acura and wanted some parts for his b17...the guy at the register said acura never made a b17 motor...stupid asses...my buddy had to argue with them and make him go on the net and check it out for himself haha...

 

Well two users have mentioned this gasket, and unless I'm just cheap and lazy, I have never seen/heard of/replaced/bought a tranny/motor gasket.

 

clean up all the oil. and see wheres its coming /leaking from.

 

couldbe alot of things

-trans
-oil pan gasket
-oil pan nut
-oil filter is loose
just check. it all

that is a very bold statement I hope you never need help from from a dealer.

if someone told me the seal between the trans and the motor I would assume the rear main seal behind the flywheel which is probally what was replaced.

You are correct that there is no gasket between the "bell housing" and the engine block but there is a seal that is under the flywheel.

not every dealer is out to get you.

and a b17 come on how popular is a that.
I work at a ford dealer and couldnt name all the engines that go back to the late 80's. that almost 20 years ago.
how would you like to be judged at your job without warning.

haha...20 years ago...if the b17 was made 20 yearas ago and the dealer guy didnt know what i was talking about i'd be koo about it...but how could you not know about the b17...it was made in the early 90's...i mean acura hires you for a reason right???

o and how popular is a b17...not so much but i've had 2 roomates with them haha. Also your from back east bro this is the west coast...the odds of finding a b17 here is 10x more likely than in WI...just pointing that out bro. Not trying to offend you or anything man, im just basing this on my experience...and other friends experience with dealer peeps...

 

good info on the b17 being more popular out west than in WI. I would have never known. I have seen one b17 here in the 6 yrs I have been playing with hondas.

but the main thread. rear main seal is between the engine tranny right? so a dealer replacing that when doing a clutch would be legit?
