You guys have been awesome so far with helping, so heres another one for ya...

I assume that the cap is just bad, and that its not creating a proper seal, but i wanted your take on things.

Secondly, how do i clean this stuff off? Just use an engine cleaner?

Thanks again guys!

the gasket on the cap probably came off, happened to me once. just spray some purple power or something on it and rinse it off. will clean it right up.

 

could be the gasket under the bolt too.

mine looks like that after i do an oil change without a funnel

 

haha yeah...mine too. but, check the oil cap! ****...you might not have screwed it on all the way or something too haha. i bought a replacement from autozone for like 3 bucks so its no biggie.

 

u can always put little bit of hondabond on there to get you around till u get a new one.

 

I went to Checker and got a new cap, so we will see if that fixes things.

As always, Thanks for the help!

 

Just today I noticed another possible problem, in the picture, you can see a bolt is missing from the valve cover, could this be a possible source for a leak?
