After starting the motor i have found i have an oil leak. It seems to be coming from either the intake cam seal or the valve cover gasket. But its def one of two. Its coming down and getting on the belt and cam gears. Anyone had this problem ? I dont have the timing covers on right now because i just started the car, havent driven it around town or anything.

yah, the valve cover gasket is a common leak, i just changed mine on last weekend. you're gonna need a valve cover gasket kit, obviously, a ratchet with small sockets, 9 and 10 mm i think. its pretty easy to change. good luck

 

Valve cover leak a common problem eh? 240k miles on my lude 15 yrs old, never had a leak from the valve cover. Replaced my cam seals twice, tho.

well when i was shopping for a 4 gen, i looked at atleast 5-6, and 4 of them had valve cover gasket leaks, or the bolts needed to be retourqed, leaking a lil oil.
glad your car never had it, good for you

 

cam seal, valve cover gasket?

Look at 5,6 and 7 ? Im not even running though right now. Are they there for oil sealing or just to seal dirt out ?

 

Id have it replaced. That isnt your valve cover seal.

 

yes i know however are they there for oil control ?

 

^^^ No.

 

i threw alittle honda bond on the corners where its cut out for the cam gears. According to the manual ur supposed to do that anyway. Id did originally but everytime i took it off didnt reapply it.
