its definately going one of the front seals wilson. possibly the crank seal. cam seal will leak on the top of the block by the intake manifold.

It would be in your best interest to have all the front seals replaced.

ie. cam seal, balance shaft seal, oil pump seal and crank seal.

the circled parts are the where the majority the oil is leaking. I poked around there and it seems spongey so I'm guessing there's a gasket. I think jesus said my cam seal was leaking a couple months ago, but very little.

I tightened the oil pan bolts as they felt like they were lightly torqued on. I found one that was very loose.

So I'm going to need a new oil pan gasket and w.e that leak may be.

yo ikayto.
same thing here, but by cb beens parked for over a year and its leaking got worse. i got tired of going to the mechanic and paying to much money just cause its a "Honda", and hondas are famous.

mechanic's choice of oil filter

found out the oil filter and some of the nuts and bolts of the oil pan were loose.
so drained the oil, got the pan out. replace the gasket. then replace the oil filter.
and no more oil leaking!

THANKS to the wonderfull power of research and the knowledge of
the cb7tuner peeps.

Not quite sure if the other 1993 model intakes are different than mine but I need this to pass the smog check and was wondering if anyone had an extra one? If so how much or would you be willing to trade for a 17" HP 1730 Flat Display Monitor with two bleed marks?

Problem: I changed my sparkplugs today and found oil on all 4 of my plugs.
Ive had this problem before and ive changed those gaskets for the sparkplugs and also the valve cover gaskets. What's going on here?!
Could this also be causing my car to idle rough and surge when idling? And also would this cause my RPM to surge while im on the highway too?

Solution???

Solution: Replace spark plug lower tube seals. adjust valves, put everything back together. It will cause a rough idle, but not a surge. You either have a vacuum leak, idle need adjusting, or fitv need adjustment as well.

hmm, where are the sparkplug lower tube seals?

[blackcb7]

this might be of some help

[b3nsonx]

so if i get my lower tube seals replaced, do i have to replace the valve cover gasket and sparkplug gaskets too?

I dont think there are spark plug "gaskets".

Just replace the lower tube seals so oils stops going in the spark plugs. I would change the VC gasket while I was at it too.

BTW I have these gaskets for your F22. Valve Cover gasket, and 4 Spark plug tube seals. All new all OEM honda. PM if you are interested.

sorry, i used the wrong name. Sparkplug gaskets = grommets ?
i meant the 4 round gaskets that go around the area of the sprkplugs.
