hey peeps, got a quick question. looks like the motor decided to start dumping oil quick. it dumps it all out in less than a minute. i climbed under there and there is oil everywhere, but it looks like it is pouring out from the timing belt cover area. any ideas on what to look for? i havent pulled the cover yet, but i expect it to be a mess in there.

 

sounds like the balance shaft oil seal popped out. honda had a recall on this a few years ago but i don't think they will fix it for free anymore.

 

i think i remember hearing something about that a while ago. do you (or anyone else) know how bad it is to replace (i.e. how much work it is on top of removing the timing belt)? thanks!

Not much extra work, just one bolt holding the balancer shaft pulley on.
