I have a 93 accord with a f22a1 motor in it and I recently started having issues with the motor. It started with a bad valve cover gasket letting oil into the spark plugs, then became the rocker arm assembly being replaced then adjusted and so on. So now that it started running back to normal I have a oil leak that wasn't there before and someone said it could be coming from the block due to a bad head gasket job. Any suggestions? I wana do a oil change on it and see what happens if it continues should I just look for another motor?

 

I'd start by finding the actual source of the leak....someone makes a guess that it is from the HG and you are ready to replace the engine?

 

i was only ready to replace the engine because i been wanting to take that motor out and build it for a turbo as a project and just throw in a h22 or something in my car for now but its just been a thought. i would like to find out the problem for sure before i make a decision but i left the car with my father for right now so i cant check it out myself at the moment

 

I would try a dye. Pep Boys, Autozone, etc, etc, all sell dye kits where you put the die in, run the engine for a day, let it sit overnight, and then flash a special light on the block which will illuminate the leak...the kits can be pricey.

Or, you could pressure wash the engine bay, and start at the top. You could be leaking oil from anywhere...valve cover, distributor, cam seal, rear main seal, pan. Let us know what it was when you find it, good luck
