Hi im new member in Honda tech
i have a a problem with my Honda civic 2002 Lx 2002
i changed my oil pan becasue it has rust and also changed the oil pan gasket
after 15 day i found leakage form the oil gasket ...?!
i want tell you i changed another gasket new form dealer Honda in Canada
but when you start you can't see any thing but when you press on accelerator pedal you can see leakage front the Flywheel ( not from flywheel i checked that before ) ....

i dont know why the oil leakage i cleaned with spray before the new gasket

if any body has information about Honda oil pan or pictures maybe i forget to do some thing ,,,,,, or i did some thing wrong

any body have workshop manual PDF format or some picture to mention this problem

 

Hard to follow your post, but it sounds like it may be a rear main seal to me.

 

^ what he said if there is oil on the flywheel that could be coming from the rear main seal have you noticed if your clutch was slipping at all. If oil gets on the friction material it could cause slippage. How many miles are on the car and did you replace it with a cast oil pan or steel oil pan reason i ask is cast does not have a rubber gasket your suppose to run a bead of silicone around it it it is steel it should have a rubber gasket.

i changed it because it has more rust this only ( i live in Canada ) but before that i never had been found any leakage oil from oil pan just this leake after i cahnged the oil pan and gasket ( steel oil pan ) ..... and it did 84000 Km only

does any body have information about this oil pan installation ?

 

Did you follow the proper torque sequence when you installed the new gasket?




Finger tighten 1 - 6, then do the rest of them as noted in the illustration.



How long after you installed the new gasket did you wait to add oil? You should have waited at least half an hour.

Also, there are spots on the gasket which you're supposed to add liquid gasket to before you install it. Did you do that? If not, that's probably why it's leaking.

 

I think oil would just run down the front side of the flywheel. I don't see how it could get around to the backside, to get into the clutch.

 

Well if the car is running I would assume that the flywheel would fling it everywhere possibly getting it around the front side of the flywheel. If it's leaking I would just re-do the install and see if that fixes it. Drain the oil get a new gasket clean both matting surfaces really good make sure there is no left over liquid gasket or oil. Then re-install using a new gasket and I believe your suppose to put liquid gasket only on the the corners of the pan not sure on that then re-torque them in that sequence and wait to fill with oil for 30 min to an hour and see if that fixes it.

 

thanks for all .........i found it
my mechanic told me i found 2 washer he forget to remove them form the old gasket and when he put the new gasket this washer old with washer new make big clearance between engine block and oil pan

So did Honda switch to a steel pan in '02?

My '01 has an aluminum pan.

 

EX / HX have aluminum oil pans.

DX / LX have steel oil pans.
