could be the O ring, go under the car with flash light and check it out

 

I also just bought a 98 Prelude (about two months ago). I went to a great dealership in New Braunfels, TX by the name of Randy Adams, Inc. They might be able to help you out.

I've been so happy with my Prelude and they also gave me a great deal. Good luck with the problem!

take pictures of where u think the oil is leaking from

 

thanks guys for the info..i jacked up the car yesterday but did not have time to look for it i will start the car and check where it leaks today...

Haha, cracked block...it's probably the oil cooler o-ring. It's a very common cause of oil leaks.

 

(Hawkze_2.3) yes bro i know???? the block is the last thing in my mind that can cause the leak...

anyway, the owner said it was the block which i don't think.......very nice 1998 prelude with oil leak for $500.00 with 18" 5zigen, greddy catback, AEM intake and needs a paint job...

 

LOL, its not a cracked block, it's your oil cooler O-ring. The same thing was leaking from my 98 prelude bout a week ago, so I know what i'm talking about, I don't know why, but it seems to be a common problem with preludes.

Double check, could also be your oil filter gasket

The replacement is cheap for both issues; shouldn't run you more than $100 (parts and labor included)

ok i went under the car today and looks like it is the round part that the oil cooler goes to and it is on the engine block side and whn i saw it it already had JB weld on it.....but whoever did it did not see where it was leaking found out that it is the oring changed it already and no more leak and running


thanks alot guys
