1997 civic with a B18C1 swap. all stock. was racing the car on a circle track, after the lap, opened the hood and found oil sprayed all over the driver side engine bay by the mount and power steering resevour. it is clearly engine oil. not p/s fluid or anythign else. no visible signs of where the oil came from and the there is no actual leak....no dripping seeping or leaking while car is on or off.... inside timing cover ( what i can see) looks clean along with the cam sprockets and timing belt.

no holes in the block, engine still runs perfect.

any ideas anyone?

 

take your hood off. tape a camera in the engine bay and race around again and see what happens. im goofy so its a goofy idea i know

 

hmmm... lol.... anyone else? do cam seals pop out then go back in?anyone seent hat before? something like that lol?

 

what about the oil pump or any open holes. i had a valve cover nut missing and when i hit vtec it squirted oil on the hood.

 

take a picture

 

ill get a picture up tonight.... i dont think it came from anything udner the timin cover, i have full timing cover plastics installed and this splashing of oil looks like it couldnt have come from there since theres no holes for it to come through from, also all valve cover hardware including about 4 month old gasket is there

 

you said its stock? but in yoru sig nature eez turbo...how bout your oil feed line?

 

wrong car ;-) this is on my 1997 hatchy.... your looking at my 1990 crx.... this is a stock b18c1 in a 1997 chassis

 

oh, lucky... multiple running cars

 

so it ended up being the fluid inside the OEM driver side mount... the mount busted and squirted the fluid all over the place....anyone have an aftermarket they can sell me?
