Inside my LS on the bottom left side of my valve cover. It leaks oil from the tip where the valve cover ends till the block where my engine code is.

Is there some sort of rubber seal I'm suppose to replace? If so is it easy for a newbie tech or should i go out to the shop and let them take care of it?

If so then how much would it run me?

thanks ahead of time.

 

Visit the Acura dealer and get the valve cover gasket!

 

Yeah take off the valve cover and replace the valve cover gasket ($20) spark plug gaskets ($4) and cam seal ($15). That should do it.

 

i disagree. that is usually the cam seal.

 

yeah, its the cam seal from what youre describing. if you havent replaced your valve cover gasket yet... do it. get a new cam seal and valve cover gasket. should run you $20 for both.

 

Wow, here is a quick search I did on the STR cam seal install.

This way no questions about it later

 

yeah its your cam seal!! Mine used to leak really bad, to a point where i would have to add an extra qrt of oil every 2k i put on....replaced it w/ a str cam seal... no more leaks!!! Its very typical for all b series motors
