Ok, this car belongs to my cousin he has a 1990 honda accord ex, his problem is that in his words " the car spits oil, and theres a puddle of antifreaz and oil when he parks" and he sais that he thinks oil leack onto his exhaust causing it to smoke. hes taken it to a shop where they first said that he just needed a new oil pan, wasnt it, then they said it needed a new head gaske, they did a compleate head swap and everything the car still does the same thing so what the hell could it be?

 

nobody? no one wants to even take a wild guess?

 

Wow. Amazing. Simply amazing. Leaks are the easiest things to diagnose. See the fluid. See where it starts? Good. Diagnosis complete. I can't see the car. Can't tell you where it is leaking. Try taking it to a "real" shop.

By the way, I hope your friend got his money back from the place that ripped him off.

There are so many possibilities, I don't want to be the one to start telling you what parts to throw at the car. That isn't right. Bite the bullet, take it to the dealer.

 

look man all i did was ask for advice, someone to try and help me not someone to call me an idiot okay so [freak] you my friend and uh i hope you get ran over by a bus

 

Possible distributor o-ring or main rear oil seal (rear crankshaft oil seal)

If there are oil under distributor, change the diz o-ring.

If the leak comes from the conjuction area of motor and transmission, it is possible the rear crankshaft oil seal. If it is the case, you need to drop down the transmission to change the oil seal.

Also check if the oil presure switch has leak.

 

thank you, we just got it back from the shop and the fixed it, the dude that put on the oil pan didnt put on the gasket right so they had to reorder the right gasket, cars runing good now, were still gonna wait to see if the leak stoped....

You have to understand, I was commenting about the shop that tried to fix the oil leak. Take a pill.

 

and you have to understand you came off as a straight jack ***, sorry for the misstake

 

Well to be honest you're far from descriptive in your post.

"I have a leak"
"Shop said headgasket and replaced the head, it still leaks"

Ok well without pictures and without knowing what's going on who knows?

It could be worn hoses, could be a bolt isn't tightened, could be a bad gasket/seal, etc.

 

hmm yeah i gues your correct, problems fixed now though..

 

So, you aren't even going to tell us what it was? Man, what a jip. At least tell us how much money you spent letting someone guess with your car.

 

like i said before it was the oil pan gasket the guy that put it on didnt even put on he right one so one of the corners poped out and it leeked all over the place, they put it back on right, and it dosnt even leak, and i didnt pay the money my cousin did it was his car in total he ended up paying about 950 dollers o.- ... what they did was rebuild tha head or do a head swap not sure which, replaced the head gasket and replace his oil pan, i think he got ripped off too but hey what can i do for the guy, the moneys already theirs....

 

uh another question here for the experts at honda tech, again the same car, 91 accord ex, when driving in first gear the rev meater wont let it go past 5 thousend rpm my cousin sais it locks and it wont go any further all other gears are fine exept that, is that normal?
