Mr. Future

Long time reader, first time poster. Just learning how to break cars on my own. On my 2000 Civic CX, D16Y7 engine (108K miles), I have a slow oil leak a few inches aft of the crankshaft pulley.



Which gasket/s should I replace? I just replaced my distributor o-ring. Should I just go in and replace EVERY gasket? Thanks for your time.

Clean everything there completely spotless and dry. White-glove clean.

Then throw some talcum powder all over it.

Now give it a quick run, then take a look. See if you can pinpoint the start of the leak in the powder.
If no evidence, then run it longer and look some more.




I'm thinking it will be leaking from between the oil pump and the block, the O ring has hardened and shrunk.....Not a gravy job. Engine has over 150k miles?
Or if you are lucky there is a plug in the middle of the round part and covered by the alt. bracket and it needs resealed. (Probably not this though.)

Look like its the CrankShaft Gasket But you should try what Ezone said. Its a great Test to find out where it come from.
