i have an oil leak in my 94 accord (F22b1) im having trouble finding where its at and i was wondering what would be the first gaskets or seals to look at to find this leak..any and all peplys help...thanx

 

To find a leak, do this:

Put a big piece of cardboard under the car and let it sit overnight... THis will tell you the general area of the leak...

Wipe down you engine with rags and maybe some thinner in that general area... THis will remove crusted oil and that sorta sh*t...

run it for a couple of days and then get in there with a flashlight and mirror and i am pretty sure you will find it...

Take the car to a dealer and have them check the balancer shaft seal and oil pan gasket. The balancer shaft seals were known to leak. But its behind the timing belt cover. Oil pan is also ver comin.

 

i dont know if this will help but about my oil leak when ever i drive home from college indiana to illionois(hometown) i have to put about 1 1/2 to 2 qts of oil; so if that helps any and gives you guys more ideas lemme know...thanx to all who reply

 

its about a 3 hr drive indiana to illinois

 

It is probably a compound problem...

How much mileage do you have?

Are there any oil spots under you car when you park?

Blueish smoke coming out of your pipe?

im about to hit 210k the spots are small like i cant just sit there and watch it drip but if i leave it alone for about 30 min i see a spot about 6inches radius and i use the oil leak **** whenevr i change my oil and when it is low im just lost on this one guys

 

no smoke or anything except alittle carbon and carbon on my back bumper

 

use brake parts cleaner and clean up the dirty area. then use a can of desenex(footpowder) and spray it over the the area the drip will show up easily
