Today after freshly building my motor i decide to turn it on. As soon as i turn it on oil starts leaking from somewhere in the back of the motor. (I put 4 quarts of brand new 5w 30 and a new honda oil filter before turning the engine on. ) So when i begin to look i couldn't find out where it was leaking from but it looks like its coming out of the oil catch can in the back of the block. Im not really sure if it is coming out of there. Also when i checked the dipstick it said there was no oil. What can my problem be?


thanx,
mike

 

Let me also add the the oil drain plug is not leaking and nowhere on the oil pan is it leaking.

 

HELP! PLEASE!

 

is the head gasket put on right?

 

a freshly built motor should suck 6 quarts maybe a tad more to fill the galleries and the head with oil, as well the filter, the pcv diaphram is too high for it to leak oil, all it is is a vent for the block, oil doesnt come out of there, and the rear main seal wouldnt leak too bad unless it was moving around, you need to be more precise about the oil problem, we cant help you if you cant tell us precisely where.

 

the head gasket is definately put on right. If your starring at the front of the motor my problem is on the back of the motor on the left side. My friend told me it could be an oil gally. As soon as i get out of work today ill go and look at it again. and try to fix it. Ill keep you guys updated.

 

oil pressure sending unit?

 

wow the guy that help me built my motor put the head gasket on wrong.

 

problem solved.
