Two weeks ago my engine low oil light came on and off repeatedly. So I immediately drained the oil pan when I got home. I noticed that only maybe a quart came out, far less than I put it in last oil change. So I filled it up again, drove 5000km and same thing happened again... Filled again, same thing only 1000km. It's getting worse.
I jacked it up. It's very obvious it's an oil leak. I can't see where it's coming from exactly. I traced it to somewhere just below the idler pulley. But because I can't see where exactly it's coming from I don't know what gasket to replace.
My car has 160,000km and I just finished paying it off.
i ordered oil dye because nobody in my city sells it and will take a week to get here.
Can someone help me? I can't afford to pay a mechanic kid 100$/hr. I am very experienced with working on engines, I feel I can fix this myself, but I don't know the Honda engine well enough to pinpoint confidently what the problem is.
Here is the best picture I got of where it's coming from.
