Major oil leak - Honda Prelude Forum

gsxrkid30 · 03-27-2011, 08:05 PM

So just did the valves on my lude, got it all put back together, changed my oil and coolant. Once the car gets to running temperature, it starts dripping oil from it seems like somewhere around the oil filter. Thought maybe the filter wasnt on tight enough, but wasnt it. Replaced the oil sending unit, wasnt it. its pretty messy under there from the oil hitting the driveshaft and spraying everywhere, but i dont know why else it would just start leaking oil out of nowhere. all I know is it finds its way down to the corner of the oil pan n drips pretty consistently. Anyone on here from the akron ohio area?? need some help with this one

Oil filter adapter gasket. It's very common and there is many threads on the issue and write ups on how to replace it. The o-ring is only a few bucks from Honda.

I bet there is a few threads on just the first 2 pages of this section honestly. It's a common issue espically with the car the age it is.

well heres the thing, thanksgiving last winter my harmonic balancer bolt came loose and fell out, i dont know why, but i didnt realize that had happened when i went to go put the belts back on and start it, the pulley fell off and spit the key out, which long story short lead to bent valves in my head. the car never leaked oil before all this happened. the only thing i can think of is when i took the driver side motor mount off to do the valves, lifting and dropping the motor up and down a lot might have done something?? im just frustrated with it at the moment so im trying to do some brainstorming before i go waste another day under that damn thing and still have an oil leak..but I have been looking on here and did see something about that gasket you mentioned...so definitely will be keeping that in mind. thanks for the help any and everyone
