i own a 1997 Acoord Lx V6

Last time i went they told me that i have bad engine mounts so the question is can i still drive? because i dnt have the money now.




2nd Question is... i have two leaks since i bought the car. How can i fix it this and is it a problem?

 

Depends on how bad the mounts are but you should be ok as long as you can handle the shaking and banging. the down side is that the longer you let it go. The more apt you are to have other things on the engine start to break down due to the excessive shaking. For instance the engine shake could be why your power steering hose is leaking?????

That comes to your second question about the leak. It looks like the high pressure hose for your power steering line. Unfortunately that will need to be replaced. There is no easy DIY or duct tape fix for that. Other than replacing it, you could take it to a hydraulics shop and see if there is anything they an do for you.

Keep an eye on your power steering fluid level and make sure that it doesn't run dry. That would be a bit more expensive to repair if you burn out the pump or steering rack.

 

DRIVE IT!

 

i mean it doesnt shake a lot sometime it make a loud sound when i press the gas then later it stops or it not as loud.

for the leak how much to fix it. the steering fluid it half way little pass

 

Try pulling on the accelerator cable from the engine compartment and observe where the torsion is taking the engine.

It should be "jumping" one way or another if your mounts are bad enough to cause vibration.
What happens when you work the throttle should lead you to the failed mount, *mounts*.

Like ghost said failed mounts will lead to further problems.

Oh I should also mention, a nefarious shop owner told my aunt her engine would fall out if she didn't
replace her engine mounts, which is just silly.

 

LOL they told me that too.. so maybe in 2 or 3 weeks i get it fixed. Thanks

 

NVM the power steering fuel is like 25%. can i put Coastal Honda Power Steering Fluid from advance autopart in there n mix it with the old one will that matter?

 

Engine wont fall out but there definitely will be some major damage done if you wait to long....

 

N its dark it that color it has to be (you can see it on the 1st pic ).. srry its my 1st car
