I CANT SEEM TO FIND MY OIL LEAK ON MY B17 ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, WHERE'S IT COMING FROM?

 

well, you can be burning it. How much are you losing on a given time period.

Or are you leaking oil on the floor already, and cant find it? Try having the engine cleaned if you are haveing trouble.

Usually when i have a leak, check oil drain bolt, then filter, oil pan gasket, the cam seal.

 

IT SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE MOTOR, BUT IT DOESNT SEEM TO BE THE VALVE COVER

 

Check the Cam Seal and VTEC Solenoid...pretty common thing.

 

are you sure its a b17 and not a b18 like most tegs come with?

 

MAYBE IT'S COMING FROM YOUR CAPS LOCK.

is it leaking or burning? is there oil running down the left side of the head/block? that could be the cam seal. or is it leaking all around the valve cover? maybe it's the valve cover gasket. are you throwing blue smoke out your exhaust? if you are, then you're burning oil. take it to a shop and have t hem do a compression test and/or a leakdown test.. the compression test will show if you're losing compression. if you are, then do a leakdown test and that will show WHERE you're burning oil.

 

No i'm sure, it's a b17 DOHC VTEC

 

do you mean the left side of the block looking at the engine from the front of the car...or the left side looking at it from the rear of the car?

i've got an oil leak that seems to be coming from the air intake side of the head, (on the front). but it doesn't appear to be coming from the valve cover gasket.

 

It could also be leaking from your gearbox if a seal is broken?

 

i also have that leak, check your headgasket man, it looks like it might not be seated right

that's the cam seal (on the left side of the block looking at the car from the front) it's an easy fix, there's a great how-to on team-integra.net on how to do this... it goes bad on nearly every integra, i gotta replace mine actually
