i did a basic tune up changed timing belt and tensioner plugs wires cap and rotor valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket. Motor ran great but there seemed to be a small oil leak on the oil pan, so i took it off again and put another on it and the leak got alittle worse. By this time i was getn frustrated as hell so i talked to my friend who had put on alot more oilpan gaskets on than i have cause i thought it could have been something i was doing. But then it leaked even more and its only when its running and it seems to be leaking all the way around the oil pan, Need some helpfull info.

 

did you tourque the bolts and in the right sequence? if so replace the oil pan yours may be warped.

 

do u have an breather for ur build...if not could be because there is to much pressure in ur motor....oil would leak...

 

Dont have a breather my motor is basicly stock besides intake header exhaust Fuel rail with new venom injectors. i did tighten them down in sequence but u did bring up a good point that i never though the oil pan could be warped

 

are u running with a vtec head...if you are even just stock it would build up pressure because there is no air ventalation....

 

my b20 block was leaking oil too, me and my friends swore up and down it was oil pan. We ended up redoing it 2-3 times before we found out the fitting you tap the block for a vtec head actually broke. Just wanted to throw that out there as a possible oil leak prob

 

no vtec head stock b20b4 motor with intake header exhaust upgraded fuel rail and new injectors and i have an oil pressure gauge in my car and it reads the right psi at idle and at 3000 rpm

 

if u changed the gasket then most likely it would be that the surface is warped....

 

would that make it leak all the way around it?

 

it could...cuz if its not flat then the oil pan wouldnt be sitting on there flat...but most likely from my experience its the pressure buildup...mine did the same thing....or bad gasket.....

 

so if it reads the right oil pressure there still could be pressure build up?

 

What do you do to get ride of the pressure, and if i do get ride of it i still have to change my gasket right? And would it make my valve cover leak to, like the more i drive it? How bad is it for the motor?
