About 2 months ago i purchased another 1992 prelude si (h23). It was cold this morning so i went out and started my car to warm it up. I went back in the house and let it run for about 15 min and when i went out to leave there is a hugepuddle of oil under my car. Its pouring out leaving trails everywhere. Anybody have any clue what it could be? Cam seal? I was going to do a swap but i wasnt ready to do it this soon? Pisses me off!
Possible balance shaft seal. Happened to an Accord I had. They walkthemselves out and that is why Honda had a TSB about it. There is a retainer that needs to be added and they are only like $4-5 for the part.
Was it coming out the drivers side?

its really hard to tell. just from looking at it while it was pouring out it looked to be coming right from the middle of the car. now that all of the oil is out, i climbed under it but its hard to tell where it was coming from. i do know i have alot of oil build up/gunk around the passenger side and around the tranny. the oil filter has oil all over it but i checked it and its good and tight.
Possible oil pressure switch then if the filter is wet.

is there a way to test it? or do i just look to see if oil is leaking out? lately when its really cold, if i dont let the car warm up before i drive it, it dies. it only did it when i wasnt pushing the gas (stopping, coasting, etc)
Step 1. Clean it all of. Use of an engine degreaser will be needed. Rinse.
Step 2. Fill back up with oil.
Step 3. Start car and look for leak and diagnosis.
Step 4. Get part/parts.
Step 5. Replace needed parts you have bought.
Step 6. Clean up any mess you made on the engine.
Step 7. Fill oil back up.
Step 8. Start car and check for leaks.
Step 9. Have beer and do the old lady for a better sence of accomplishment.
Step 10. Go to sleep.

More than likely you have been driving around with a bad oil cooler o-ring for some time and now it has decided to blow out from the pressure. That is one of the few seals that can just dump all your oil out as a lot of oil is passing through that filter as the engine is running.

i ended up having it LOL
OIL COOLER O RING HAS BEEN FIXED!!! LOL ONLY TOOK ABOUT 15 MIN and now i am not leaking anymore oil!
still having problems where when i start my car in the cold it revs very low and dies when im driving if my foot isnt on the gas (coasting, stopping etc) after it warms up its fine. anyone have any ideas as to what it could be?
Besides I already diagnosised the oil filter O-ring problem, got you a parts diagram which gave you the part number and gave a step by step. I hope you didn't skip step #9 as it is the most important in any car repair.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
