To start this off im new to this site and new to the Honda world...

I bought my car with a swap

but now im having problems with it...

a few days ago i had a lot of oil leacking out first thing that came to mind was my oil pan since it sits so low from the ground i checked my oil and i was were it had to be so i drove it by the time i got to my house i had oil just every were i came to find out it was coming from my trany.... what can i do.... or what should i do?!

 

yes you use oil for your transmission also 5w30 or 10w30 is what i use. can also use honda fluid or syncromesh. Look around and see where its coming from probably a bad seal around an axle or your drain plug is loose.

 

Do you think it could be my trany seal

 

the axle seals or your main seal around you input shaft. if its the man seal then your clutch would be drenched.

 

if it is the seals on the transmission, it's a cheap fix. somewhere in the 5 dollar range or so.

 

yep. but before you go and start replacing things be sure you figure out where it's leaking from. clean up the oil thats already leaked out and try to figure out where exactly the oil is leaking from.

 

did you check your oil level after all the oil went everywhere? if your oil level was fine before you spewed oil everywhere and it's still fine after, then do check were it's coming from. if your oil level went down after all the oil went everywhere, my guess would be rear main seal.

 

i've never seen a rear main seal leak the way the op was describing.

 

Thanks alot for all the suggestions but le me go take pics of were its coming from so you guys dont think im a dumb *** haha and yeah i did check my oil in my motor and it was fine right were it needs to be

let me see if i can get some pics for you guys


thanks

Check your oil filter, sometimes those oil places don't even tighten them up and you can leak oil all over the back of your engine.

 

can you get a shot of the top of your engine from the vtec solenoid side? just want to rule that out.


and from the pictures, did you take off that plate that protects the fly wheel or is it like that? anyways, is the back of your flywheel covered/caked in oil?

 

If you don't have an inspection cover you should get one, its good piece of mind for a dd.

Also, it really looks like a rear main seal leak to me with the oil coming out where it is.

Good point 90ex. If the cam seal or solonoid leaks and it drips down the trans.

 

is the oil clean or carbon fouled (black or brown in color) if its clean its probably gonna be a transmission leak. if it matches the oil on yr dip stick than its engine oil. based on yr pics it looks like a trans leak, possibly input shaft seal. does yr clutch slip. if yr not mechanically inclined take it to a shop, the sooner the better

 

if it the input shaft seal it will cost more than five buck too fix. trans has to be tore down!

 

pressure wash that biatch.

 

ok so i have my trany half way out....

I just wish it was done

Could i even presure wash my engine without f***ing anything up

 

I need help once again!

 

thats the ****in rms fo sho!

 

yes you can i do it at the car wash all the time. matter of fact, grab a can of degreaser and hit the engine/bay/and tranny while your at it. and start up your car after 5 min of washing it so to check if anything messes up. but i doubt it

 

mine was leaking worse than that. was the oil pan or oil pan gasket. so i changed them both. problem fixed. I thought because the leak was so bad it had to be from the rear main. i was putting about a liter a week of oil in. but changed the oil pan and gasket, problem fixed. i put an engine dye in it after washing it down really good. and pinpointed it.

 

new up date....

so i got my trany out and guess what...

thers a whole the size of a niddle

so now i guess i need a new trany....

anyone has one for sale?
