oil leak

Hi I have a 98 base prelude with 149000 kms and have two oil leaks under the engine around two inches apart. I recently changed the oil pressure switch as that was leaking about a month ago . Where do you think the new leaks are comming from ? Any help would be appreciated .

Re: oil leak

Check the plug, make sure nothing is stripped. Jack it up and look around the oil pan gasget as well. And it MIGHT be your PCV valve. Try replacing that, because when I had a leak in my 4g, I replaced the PCV valve and it stopped.

Re: oil leak

The oil cooler (located under the oil filter) o-ring could be the leak. Hard to locate this leak.

Re: oil leak

Then again it might be as simple as just replacing your whole oil pan gasget. Make sure that your filter is cranked down, too.
