I have a 2004 accord k24a4
It has +180K on it, still running like a champ but recently noticed it's dripping a lot of oil.


It's not the oil pan gasket, but seems to be spewing on the oil pump side and getting all over my engine belt.

Q:
1) is this oil leak pretty common for K series?
I know for most d-b-h series, the REAR main seal tends to go out well before the front main seal.

2) is there any other seal (other than front main seal/oil pump seal) which could be leaning around that area?


Thanks - Charlie

 

I would clean the area with carb or brake cleaner, then try to spot the source of the leak before it spreads.

 

is it common for an engine with 180,000 miles on it to leak a little oil?
really?

 

^^^ lol... i guess you don't know the answer then. go troll on the GDD section = )

the past 8+ hondas i've had where high milage and none have ever leaded oil on the oil pump side.... so i figured it must be a K series thang..

 

In short yes semi common, it is typically the front crank seal that goes which then spins up the oil everywhere and makes a mess. Its very easy to do and if you are replacing that
I typically reseal the side timing tensioner cover at the same time since its only three bolts
and your all ready in that area
