Icon6 Accord oil Leak

Need help I have Accord 94 and 2 days ago I changed the oil and for some reason the oil light was flashing I check the oil and no oil was left.


The leak it’s coming from the passenger side.
Any ideas what can it be?

It could be a number of things. Check the oil filter itself to make sure it is sealing tight; did you make sure the gasket from the old filter wasn't stuck to the block after removal?

The oil cooler/oil filter base also has an O-ring underneath that seals it to the block. A failure of this O-ring can cause rapid loss of a large amount of oil.]

You're going to have to get underneath there and check it out for yourself.

F22 engines don't have oil cooler o-ring like the H23 and H22s seeing that the OP's screen name says F22. The only thing I can think of is your Rear Main Seal is leaking since it's coming from the passenger side.

Whoops, sorry - I was thinking of an older Accord. Most F22As had oil coolers, as did the F22B Odysseys.

How hard it’s to change the rear main seal?
Besides that what else can cause to leak?
It never leaked before all I did is an oil changed and changed the oil filter?

It's hassle because you'll need to remove the transmission, clutch, and flywheel to get to the rear main seal.

You'll have to carefully remove the seal out and use a same size diameter adapter and pound the seal into it's same depth where the old one use to sit. Make sure it's flush.

Yea, I jsut changed my rear main (may as well change the front crank seal and transmission torque converter seal as your in there)..

Its a lot of my hassle and it took my mech about half days work to really get everything done... If I was going in to do that kind of work, I would just change any possible leaking seals..

I always replaced mines whenever my new engines arrived. Not just the seals but timing belt, water pump, clutch, flywheel, etc.
