Alright a little background since i'm brand spanking new. I recently totalled my 1997 Blazer S10 4 door (clean clean clean). two weeks ago bought a 1995 Honda Accord 5 Speed F22B2 and alls been good so far but i seem to be burning oil on the block and evidence is all over the top end, i'm working on buying a jack and stands low enough for the car but i took some pics from the top end maybe an estimation of what it could be was the goal.

















Sorry if they're too big! this is my first post, and thank you for the help!

 

You can pull the upper part of the timing cover and run the engine and inspect the area for the source...vc gasket, cam seal??

 

When was the timing belt and seals last changed?

Also, you need to take those timing belt covers off to see the leaks better. One thing for sure, I am sure the cam seal and/or valve cover gasket is leaking. That is why you get the pool of oil on the cliff of the block.

Look at my pic and you will see the route the oil takes when getting to the "cliff."

 

So i took the valve cover off








If more pics are needed i can do it but later on, thanks

 

Remove that timing belt cover (top), and possibly the bottom cover also. It involves a little more work, but it will show the leaks.

 

Alright, i'll handle it my next day off thanks again! Friday =P

 

If your going to remove your valve cover again and delve in deeper to find an oil leak...go out and get at the very least a new top end gasket kit and a tube of Hondabond for your motor.

 

Add a dab of silicone to the corners of the head where the gasket contacts the "hump". Do the other end as well. In the pic I'm highlighting the gasket, translate that to the head.

 

the last thing you want to do is put silicone on the engine if its burning oil your valve seals need to be redone if its leaking oil you need to replace the gasket

 

Really?

From the FSM I have.....and what I do every time.

 

Is there a tutorial or step by step instructions on how to change the cam seal. I have the exact same leak!!!

Very frustrating. Thank you

 

20 minutes might be fine for hondabond but if you're using rtv, wait atleast an hour

 

remember the BACK of the valve cover could be leaking as well take that into considerations

 

Are you going to change the timing belts at the same time or just replace the seal?

 

No the timing belt and head are new. The belt broke before and I had a shop change those last year. But the car sat for six months because I didnt need to use it. Now the engine is leaking. I changed the valve cover gasket but that didnt help. I was hoping it wanst too involved.
