Okay so I just bought an EK 1998 cx, After buying the car I go under the car to work on something, and I notice a spot that is oily on the bottom of the engine block. So I wipe all the oil down, and one day later that spot has a little oil on it again. when I touch The square hole that the seep is coming from I see a tiny bit of oil on my finger. Again this is a slow seep.

I'm wondering if you d16 guys have that square hole and if oil is seeping out
Here are some pics







any tips, feedback, help, would be great. thanks..

 

If its a slow leak, thats the oil pan gasket. They commonly start to seep along the sides before it gets really bad all the way around. Its not too hard of a fix, just make sure you use some hondabond in the corners helps seal them good. If you have specific questions about it you can P/M me, I am a honda tech and I have done many of these before. Hope it works out for you.

 

Hey heritage36, so you think its a oil pan gasket? are you saying I should replace the gasket and use the hondabond to seal up the new gasket? or use hondabond to repair the gasket?

The only thing is that I'm certain that oil is seeping from the little square hole because when I press my finger in the hole there is oil on my finger..

 

get a new oil pan gasket and hondabond around the edges where there aren't a lot of bolts.
