Oil spot on driveway should I be concerned?
So its -17 degrees out.lol started my 96 accord lx coupe to pull it in the garage, well when i look back there an oil spot that has never been there before (i drove it 10min before i out it in the garage) the spot is good size about 4inch-4inch and one spot looks like it was shot out of my engine. like its splattered when rest just looks like a typical leak only this aint no leak.lol something happened..should i be concerened? So I drove about 30miles to come back home,no oil spot in the driveway yet, parked it, shut it off, went inside, came back out started my car (instant start possible engine pop when i started it) moved it in, and saw the spot, and went on honda-tech.lol now u know my past 30min.lol OH! the "leak" comes from the middle of the engine like smackdab middle.lol
I take that back it was more torwards like the trans or like throttle boddy. that area of the engine. so it was torwards the back (the oil spot)
P
the last thing was a maxbore.com 64mm throttle body. I hasnt leaked since. so wull see. since its icy there sand/salt everywhere, would that do anything? I start crying every time i drive on that stuff. (sometimes i apologize to my honda lol)
I would check the oil filter gasket. I once had an oil filter gasket fail due to cold weather like this. I had started the car to warm up and after a few minutes decided not to go out. The next morning when I moved the car there was at least a quart of oil on the ground. At least check it before venturing out very far in this weather.
