My civic gots a bad oil leak I'm assuming as sooni. As it warms up it smeels like something is burning kinda like burning rubber smell..
I check it out and and saw the smoke coming from the driver side of the engine but the bottom kinda by where the oil pump it...
Anybody had this issue?? Any help is appreciated thanks...

 

Could be anything. Seals. Gaskets. Find out exactly where.

 

Could be a loose or worn accesory belt. Or an alternator/PS pump bearing that's starting to sieze.

 

Idk I think it might be a crankshaft seal and leaked onto the timing belt so the timing sliped a tooth and bent my valves pretty good so engine won't start..I just wanted to know if oil pumps tend to leak oil or do the seals just go bad?

 

WTF are you speculating for? So the damage has already been done and you want to play the "what could have cause this? " game?

 

Clean the engine bay. Attack it with degreaser and some scrub pads. Get that **** sparkling. Once you've done that, then you can start pinpointing where you're leaking oil from.

 

And your point is ???
I'm lookimg for experienced honda heads not dicks...
Take your miserable life else where bro
Its actually not even my car it was brought to me to fix
Thx anyway.

 

Yea man I degreased it but can't find any leaks it seems like it only leaked when the car was driven...I'm just gonna pull the head and take the tb off and see if I can spot any oil spills hidden behind the bottom timing cover
Thx man

 

If it's leaking, and if you actually cleaned your motor, there would be visible residue, even if it's only leaking when you drive. Also, if you think it's only leaking when you drive, secure it on jack stands and get under it to inspect while someone "drives" the car.

 

He said it won't start now.

 

I mean there's like res around the lower timing cover which makes me think its something in there I hust gotta take it apart...
But the car doesent run man the valves are bent

 

And again. Car doesn't run so there will be no more leaks. Stop bullshitting, speculating and start pulling parts and find the leak. You have to do it anyway with the valves all fucked up anyway.

So what I said still stands. It makes no difference where it "might" have come from since the engine is already broken. Now is your chance to pull it apart, freshen it up and tell US what is was that was causing the leak.

 

Yea ill be letting you guys know within a couple days...
Thanks again
