good advice.... -_-


if you dont have any mechanic experience its probably best you have a buddy do this one. you have to drop your oil pan(after draining it) seat the gasket from honda or advance auto with honda bond gray rtv silicone or diesel gray and bolt it back up. the bolts are 10 ft pounds for the trq spec btw

i could be wrong....but in the video it looks like its dripping oil inbetween where the transmission meets the motor....in that case it could be leaking out of your rear main seal. now if thats the case then thats why u heard it was a 500 dollar job... to do a job like that it would involve you removing the transmission, clutch and flywheel and replacing the seal and then putting it all back together.... hopefully its just the oil pan gasket and im just over speculating. good luck man.

that and if it was the oil pan it would be a constant leak not just when running

cant change an oil pan gasket? seeems like the main seal, an oil pan wouldnt leak that much that fast.

I took it to a shop, it's a crank seal and valve cover gasket leak. Thanks a lot though.
