The hole is circled. This is just above the oil pan.
Hello. I was given a 2004 Honda civic ex with 200000 miles on it last summer. Both of my other vehicles got trashed so I ended up driving this. Ran really well but went through oil like crazy. I fell on hard times. As they say when it rains it pours. The car started over heating. Trying everything possible to fix it while staying away from admitting it was a head gasket was challenging to say the least. I am mechanically inclined but am in no way a mechanic. Eventually, I had to just accept the head gasket was blown. With no money, I was screwed either way. I ended up getting a head gasket kit so I could replace it. I had no choice. I had to have a car and I in no way could I pay anyone to even help with it. I watched YouTube videos as I did. To my surprise, I did it. It ran rich and struggled going into fifth gear but it maintained temp and no more oil problem. After a week, the crankshaft seal burned out. Out of desperation, I again did the repair. A week later I’m driving home, car stalls won’t start. No idea what to do or how to do it I just started watching YouTube videos and trying to figure out what was wrong. It would crank it not run. I don’t know how to explain it. It would start but not turn over, if that makes sense? I finally went to the junkyard. Got fuel injectors, spark plug coils, map sensor, vetch and crankshaft position sensor. I think it was the crankshaft sensor. At fired right up but instantly blew a hole through the part of the engine that the oil pan is connected to. Front about an inch above the oil pan. I don’t even know what the part is called. Can anyone tell me what it is? Also, what would cause this? Can it be fixed?

 

The engine is trash just like the rest of the car.

 

Thanks, I appreciate it
