Hey fellaz..

Bought a 94 Accord, as my civic is gettin rebuilt for some boost...anyway..

love this accord..very comfy, nice ride, etc...but it leaks...

now i know many wont be able to decipher the problem...and i just havent had any time to get under the car and see where its leaking..but maybe some educated guesses could help me out...

now, 1st, it leaks oil. I checked under the car..looks like the oil pan gasket (fingers crossed)...2nd, coolant leaks...not sure where this is leaking from...I have no heat....I put some coolant/antifreeze in..and the heat comes on, but goes back cold because the motor spat out the coolant i just put in..the good thing is is that it leaks pretty much right away. Now what I dont understand is how could the car not be overheating if its leaking coolant?....I will say, beyond those 2 factors, the engine runs beautifully, idles nice, revs high, shifts smooth..

When i check the oil, the oil is a nice golden color (because its constantly being filled I presume) but no coolant in oil is evident....so thats good...

any thoughts?...

 

your oil leak may be the camshaft seal or the crankshaft seal, there was a recall for your car that ended last yeat for that, if thats not it, it will be pretty soon

 

hey bro,

threw the car on a lift, looks like it is coming from the crankshaft....thanks for the info..

 

oil could be anything, it wouldnt be tough to spot once you get under the car.

you have have a coolant leak and still not overheating. look for a pin size rip/hole on the coolant hose to the heater core or bypass. Mine was leaking once i put on a new radiator cap(the one wouldnt hold any pressure)

 

weird...my cap is stripped too, very possibly it could be the same thing.

 

could possibly be a seal. I believe all the 4 cylinder accords that year had a recall on the front balancer shaft seal. Here's a helpfull link for recalls on all makes and models.

Cam seal also could be the problem

 

Thanks for the info bros...
