Oil Pan Leak
I'm been googling on fixing the oil pan gasket. Many have claim it could be just the rear main seal. I was told it was that alsom oil cooler o-ring. Some links I've found said the oil pan on the h22 doesn't use a gasket while others pointed me towards a link that has a gasket that goes fully around the oil pan. So, I'm very confused. I could find an OEM gasket except the one on this #13

Can anyone clarify this?

Re: Oil Pan Leak
put the car on jackstands so that the car is off the wheels. Start the car and climb underneath and take the flywheel cover off. Look above the oil pan gasket. If it's leaking above that then the problem is the rear main seal. If the leak is bad enough you will see oil being flung by the flywheel around the clutch housing.
Felpro makes a gasket for your car. Put a lil bit of rtv in the curved inner edges of the pan in between the pan and the gasket. You just need to make sure that there is absolutely no oil on the block or pan surface and tighten the bolts from the inside out and you will be fine.

Re: Oil Pan Leak
Thanks mate. Would you have a picture or anything to show where I need to look. I'm still a novice at doing this stuff myself and trying my best to learn. Do I need to also buy #13 or just the Felpro? Any guide on doing this? I wanna make sure I do this right the first time. I will have the transmission off, since I do have to replace the clutch and a few other stuff.

Re: Oil Pan Leak
The seal you need depends on what oil pan you have. The steel pans use the full gasket, while the aluminium pans use the small one and Hondabond/ rtv around the rest of the pan.
If you are doing a clutch, do the rear main at the same time. Might as well pull the oil cooler off and do that o-ring for 3 dollars while you are working on the car.

Re: Oil Pan Leak
I just used liquid gasket sealer. I believe it came like that stock also since when I removed it, had to take a razor to scrape off excess to clean it. Put gasket sealer on the pan, and under the engine, bolted together. It's been working.
