So I was driving on the highway yesterday, when suddenly smoke started pouring out of my engine. I pulled over to check it out and I could tell my engine was seconds from catching fire. The tow truck driver says he thinks I blew my oil pan gasket, as oil was steadily dripping down onto the main exhaust line, which was burning it up. Anyone have any idea how much this may cost me to fix, as its probably not something I should attempt on my own?

And its a '94 Integra.

 

Get yourself a $ 20 service manual from autozone or kragen. An oil pan gasket replacement is pretty easy and straigth forward. Just make sure you use a torque wrench when you tighen the bolts and nuts or it'll leak again.

 

I got a quote to do mine while I was at school because I didn't have a garage or tools handy and they said $250 at the acura dealership. I ended up just buying a gasket for $20 and did it myself. It's really easy just a hassle and takes a few hours.

 

yeah, a friend of mine suggested I do just that so I borrowed a torque wrench and bought the gasket at Autozone cheap. my only concern is I have to do the work on the street and I'm worried about getting contaminants inside while the pan is off. guess I'll just have to do my best eh? thanks for the tips guys
