need some help i have a 97 prelude that is leaking oil like crazy!!! its leaking from near the drivers side front tire and its blowing white smoke when i floor it... what should i do???

 

Could be anything on that side that is causing your oil issue. Like oil pan, crank seal, cam gear seals valve cover gasket. You are just going to have to clean all the oil off with a degreaser and then just track down where your leak is coming from.

 

Looks like all timing seals and oil pan gasket need to be replaced just going by how much oil is leaking there.

 

Do a full timing belt service, clean and check.

timing belt
balance belt
water pump
both cam seals
front crank seal
front balance shaft seal
rear balance shaft gear o-ring or oil pump o-ring b

 

Replace the valve cover gasket while you're at it.

 

x2 ^^Agreed^^ Gotta pay to play.
What you should do is check your oil lvl. If your feeling frisky do the above statements, But sounds like your not to mechanically inclined, drop the cash and save your H!

On your oil pan though, there is one spot on your oil pan that doesnt get hondabond and its a rubber bent gap filler thing/gasket Lol sorry dont kno name off top of my head, but if you pull your crank pulley, pull timing covers and degrease you will have a much esier time to track it. With all the seals on that side I'm not gonna say its that but atleast if your not a good mechanic and you clean it all up you can atleast check that one spot.

If you dont know when your timing side was last serviced, and you plan on keeping your H healthy I would start saving or drop the dough to get it up to date as well.

 

Well, since were on the subject. I have a leak coming from the valve cover. I replaced the gasket, but know I believe that it must be an o-ring from under the cage. I really hope that it's not the actual head gasket now..only one spark plug has oil on it. any suggestions? before I take off the cover again and get dirty..

 

You need hondabond and a service manual.
