ok i have a 1994 acura integra with a gsr swap i jus purchased!

it has a slight oil leak coming from the back of the block around the oil filter area. i was just wondering if anyone would know where it was coming from. could it leak from the oil cooler?
also does oil or antifreeze run through the oil cooler hoses??

 

Oil pressure sending unit...its a single wire with a boot over it plugged in right above the oil filter. I would put money on that being the issue

 

so you dont think its the oil cooler or anything like that??

 

i checked the Oil pressure sending unit an its not leaking! its coming from the pass side somewhere around/above the oil filter~

 

can anyone help????

 

Yes, most likely the oil cooler. Here's a pic I took when mine was leaking.



You should be able to just unbolt the center bolt (the piece the oil filter screws onto) and pull the oil cooler back. The coolant line will still be attached, unless you do this while the coolant is drained. I was not able to access the tabs on the coolant line hoses anyway from underneath. I replaced mine while I had my intake manifold removed, so it was much easier.



Remove #12, and replace #19. It's only about $2, and I haven't noticed it leaking since.

 

thanks alot man i knew someone had to of experienced the same problem as me

 

might i ask where you bought the gasket?? no parts store seems to have it! is it the same gasket as the oil filer??

 

order itfrom honda it should be like 5 bucks. its a common gasket for oil leaks

 

ok thanks alot!!

 

It is less than $2 from Carland Acura www.acuraautomotiveparts.org

I would suggest buying a few other parts, too. S&H would be more than $2 if you bought only that. Buy a stack of oil drain plug washers if you don't have any of those (and you change your own oil).
