honda accord oil leak
Guest 22 March 2005 02:14:05
	Hi. I have 1992 Honda Accord LX. I just noticed that engine oil leaks a little. I took it to my mechanic and he told me that it might be a either minor or major problem. In order to make sure, he has to take it apart a little. So I just told him that I will be back and drove it home without doing any work on it. Do you think I can just keep checking the oil level every week and add if it is a little low without damaging the engine? Thank you in advance.

Do you think I can just keep> checking the oil level every week and add if it is a little low without> damaging the engine?> Thank you in advance.> Short answer - yes, that's okay. Messy, but normally safe enough. This would be a good time to clean or replace the PCV valve, though, on general principles. A plugged PCV valve will pressurize the crankcase with blow-by and force oil out where it wouldn't normally leak. And the mechanic should have been able to get a good idea where the leak is coming from (or at least narrow the range of possibilities) with just a visual inspection. It makes me wonder if the leak is under the timing belt cover, a place that does require some disassembly to look at... in which case there is a risk of timing belt damage and eventual failure if oil gets on the belt. That is something you don't want to happen. Mike Mike

	Remember how the gas companies used to give free gifts with fillups? (plates, glasses, car washes, etc) If your leak so bad that you are getting gifts from where you buy oil, you probably have a bad oil problem Just kidding but - everything being relative - how much oil does it lose? Does it drop (do you see droplets under the car after it sat overnight) or get burned? How many miles do you travel to add what kind of quantity of oil? You could replace the PVC valve (in case of burning), which is a very inexpensive DIY fix, if that is your problem. Not sure how easy the head gasket and pan gaskets are to replace on a Accort - that could also be your problem. If you have to add a little to keep it topped off once a week, it is not a big deal. It is a 92 so one would assume you have decent number of miles on it. It is pretty much expected on an older car. Putting some oil in the car is most likely a lot cheaper than getting it fixed by your mechanic, even in the long run. I drove a 72 Volvo for years just topping off with a little oil once a week. Unless you are getting gifts from your oil supplier, It may not be much of a problem. Remco

That happens when there's excessive blowby, and when the crankcase breather hose is either plugged or unable to cope with the blowby. The mechanic should be able to determine this quickly and easily by removing the oil filler cap with the engine running. He can also unplug the breather hose at one end and check it for sludge and oil, which is also a quick check. He can pinch the PCV hose and see if the idle changes. If it does not, the PCV valve is plugged, and the above problems become more likely. And the mechanic should have been able to get a good idea where> the leak is coming from (or at least narrow the range of> possibilities) with just a visual inspection. If the leak is bad enough had has been going on for some time, wind whipping around the engine bay will have fouled everything, making the leak source hard to discover. However, if it's the rear main seal, dripping should be apparent from the vent hole (if so equipped) at the bottom of the transmission bellhousing. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/

However, I was told that if I let it go long enough, it would have eventually been flung onto the upper portion of the bellhousing, and it would have dripped on to the clutch from there. Apparently it has to be quite bad, and be left quite a long time, before that has a danger of happening. A crank/cam seal leakage is simliar. Automakers recognize the damage a leaking seal can cause, so they go to some lengths to protect the timing belt and clutch from the leakage. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/
