Location is Left front wheel you're seeing here, underneath car

What is that the green arrow pointing to? Is that a leak? He didn't notice any puddle under the car. Could it be a loose nut, He just had an oil change 2 weeks ago. IS it a big problem? His LS is a little lower than stock, that's all. Whatto do?

clean the area...if it comes back, its a leak

 

Or maybe its just got that way when the oil change was going on

 

i had an oil drain bolt leak, had to tap out the threads to the next size oil drain bolt. that took care of it for a while, then i took it to thedealership and they cranked the bolt on so hard they stripped it and tried to blame iton me. that didn't work out to good for the dealership because they ended up admitting that it was their fault and ended up giving me a 45%discount on labor, so instead of dumping 2500 into the car i only spent about 1250!

 

it's fine.

Loosen drain bolt, let oil drain, put drain bolt back on. Old oil will still be dripping from the pan so you take a shop rag and wipe surrounding area. Sometimes oil will spill to that area when replacing the filter.

it's fine.

 

probably just residual oil nasties....nothin to loose sleep over.

 

so u guys are pretty sure it has to do with OIL, ,is that big bolt loose or something?

 

thats the oil drain plug
and most likely its oil that either had leaked out from the change and wasnt clean or the bolt is just slightly loose and leaking new oil. no biggie. check ur oil level... fill if need be, and tighten bolt down. its a 17mm.

 

Buy a new drain plug washer from the dealer.

Youll have to remove the bolt to install it and add new oil.

The worse case scenario is youve threaded the oil drain pan. YOu'll need to have it all replaced.

 

is there a puddle of oil underneath the car every morning? just change the crush washer and it should be fine. honda usually gives them away or they come with a new oil filter. it's not much to loose sleep over, take it to a quick lube they might even change it for free.

 

tell to also get a camber kit!

 

lol i dont know why but this thread made me laugh

 

Was this a joke or something.

 

 

LOL. Definately needs a camber kit.
