Oil Leak

CivicMexicano · 10-16-2004

What could be the cause of engine oil leaking from in between the tranny and the engine, i just got a used engine swaped in since i blew the old one.....

Another issue is some smoke is coming out from in between the stock header and my downpipe, could it just be a bad seal since it does not smell like burnt oil

You may need a new oil pan seal. Did you remove or replace the oil pan?

If its leaking between the engine and transmission its either a rear main or the oil pan. Replace the donut gasket on the stock manifold between it and the downpipe.

Number 14. About $15.

Yeah and by the way rear main on the civics is prone to being bad and leaking Its a defect but of course they wont recall it.....HAH

it coudl be the main cause i replace the gasket when i installed the oil pan, and ill check the donut gasket and see if a new one is all that different if not, ill just use some silicone gasket maker...
