Every time I drive my 90 accord ex car the oil was on the ground where I had parked, later found the dipstick was loose, when ever I check the oil dipstick goes up while pulling and down by half an inch, I guess because of this the oil is on the ground every time I drive and park. what is the best solution. I dont have the diagram to Know about it nor any info on web, can some one plz help me.

possibly try takin it out and squeezing it so its a lil out-of-round, so that it will be a lil hard to put in hopefully making it so it won't back out. Or use the putty from an auto parts store (4got the name but it works great) that is black and grey, u knead it together an it becomes like metal. put it around the base. BTW... NOT JB-Weld!!!

Thanks Icon, I pulled it out it was easy and had fixed it with
aluminium foil and secured it with bolt which it was missing
no leak now from the dipstick which is a good news but the
bad news is th eoil still leaking and it from the cover of the
bottom crank shaft. I guess the oil seal is bad.Any sugestion ?

Well @ the shop we specialize in honda/acura so the majority of the time its cam seal leaking n making it all the way down the inner covers. If its not the cam seal (which u can see by taking off the upper cam cover), and seeing if it has oil around the seal under the cam gear. Then its most likely front main seal (oil pump seal) both real common to go out on hondas, we see it all the time. If u need any thing else or have any more questions feel free to P.M. me.
