Oil Leak

Alnhardiman 11 August 2005 03:58:26
 I have got a 1998 2.1td with 85K. recently noticed oil dripping down the
back of the engine it also seems to be coming out from the inlet manifold
unions. Also the pipes into and out of the intercooler seem to be sludged
up. Any Ideas.

Cheers Alan

I have exactly the same problem with the same model car, however, I have not
figured out what is causing it yet.
My best guess is worn turbo bearings or a stuck EGR Valve, causing an
increase in turbo temperature...

Nobody has suggested an alternative yet.

If it's any consolation though, mine has 148,000 miles on the clock and it's
done this since 89,000 miles.

 I had a leak on my 1995 306 D Turbo coming from somwhere near the top of
the engine on the driver's side. I'm not sure if its the same engine as
yours but It turned out that the cylinder head had cracked. Check to see if
there is any oil in the radiator coolant. If there is, you may need a new
cylinder head or head gasket. Unfortunately, if this is the problem, It's
expensive.

 My wife has a 1986 Acura Legend. The oil seal around the pan has gone
bad, and it's leaking quite a bit. I have never had this problem with a
car of mine before, so is changing/replacing the gasket around the oil
pan something that a "regular person" can do, or are there special steps
or meticulous procedures that are more suited for a properly trained and
experienced mechanic?

Thanx,

Jonathan

first things first - try tightening the bolts that hold it in place
first. don't over-tighten. also, check it's the pan gasket, not the seal.

if you do need to change, you may need to buy the seals for the exhaust
pipe - may beed to drop it to get the pan off.

also to consider: what oil are you using? when i ran motorcraft, mine
leaked like mad. running castrol, hardly at all.

I will also say this: When I was under the car last time, I noticed an
orange caulk-type substance that was lining the perimeter of the oil
pan, but wasn't preventing any leaks whatsoever.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the difference between the gasket and
the seal? In the meantime, I will check the bolts' tightness and get
back to you.

Thanx!

that orange stuff indicates that someone's had the oil pan off before -
afaik, it's never used with honda oem assembly. a new pan gasket should
fix it just fine.

the seals are the round things on either end of the crankshaft. can't
see them usually, but if they're leaking, oil runs down and tends to
accumulate around either end of the pan. suggest cleaning off the pan
with de-greaser, getting it nice & dry, then watching where the new oil
emerges.

fyi, oils are colored to allow leak identification. automatic
transmission is red, engine is straw.

Well, this car is a 5-speed manual, so I know it's not transmission
fluid. There is a drop of oil "clinging" to the drain plug of the oil
pan after each run, but it's not leaking there. You can see the
"streaks" from the front side of the pan.
In the meantime, I will check the bolts' tightness and get back to you.

Which I haven't done yet, but plan to do soon. ;-)­
Thanx!>>
