New To Forum and Hondas - Oil Leak mystery and tune up questions?

ccgetz · 09-13-2009

Hi all, I just bought my first Honda. 95 Civic LX 1.5 (D15B7 right?) 5 spd 105,000 miles.

I am a very mechanical person with tons of Mustang and miata experience, but no Honda knowlage.

I have a oil leak. Rear lower part of engine. I need to identify where it is coming from and thought I would ask where the commons ones are.

I have read the oil pan gasket, valve cover gasket and dizzy gasket. Anything else I should check?

Today I am doing a full tune up, rewiring a few fudged up wires, and other maintenance. Anything of the top of your guys heads I should look at?

Thanks

Chris

could also be a cam or crank seal.

Well after working on the car today I found the spark plug holes filled with Oil. So I am guessing a valve cover gasket job is in order (doesnt it come with seals for the spark plug holes?).

Cleaned the engine bay as well so I can more easily idenitfy where else it is leaking.

yeah valve cover gasket kit should come with spark plug seals
