MASSIVE oil leak PLS HELP!

[idriveaaccordse]

Im having a HUGE oil leak in my car. I lost 5 quarts of oil in 2 miles...it all went to the ground. It only leaks oil when the car is on and you can hear it squirt from the back. I checked it out, looks like the leaks comming from the piece between the oil filter and the block. Im guessing blown gasket? Anyone have any experience with this or the F22 motor? Thanks.

your filter is prob. loose.

u may have left the old filters gasket stuck to the block by accident, or u may just have a losse filter. turn it until fully tight than another 1/4 turn.

my car had a leak like that once, turned out it was a gasket to some "oil Coolant" thinger that it happend to have but wasn't featured on all models, according to the mechanic. It didn't cost alot to fix.

I had a friend check it out and he said it looked like it was comming from the oil cooler thinger. Do you remember how much the gasket was and how hard it was to fix?

oil filter loose or oil pressure sensor leaking is my guess

oil pressure sensor is located just above the oil filter

Yep, that's your 2 choices. Not much else there involved with that much oil.

5 quarts in 2 miles without refilling? That's a bit overfilled to begin with, which is bad. Did you change the oil yourself, or did you get it done at reputable lube shop? If it's the latter, they would have noticed it on a start check and fixed it. It's most likely the oil filter gasket. Either the new oil filter was tightened over a gasket that came off the old filter, or there's no gasket on the new filter, or there's a puncture in the oil filter itself, or the oil filter is not tight (sealed), or the oil pan gasket is leaking severely, or...

Umm...did they or you forget to put in your oil pan drain plug? What is the condition of your oil pan drain plug washer?

Loosing that much oil, should NOT be hard to find....it should be blantly obvious. Figure it out quick before you take your car out again, don't keep driving your car...big no no. You're totally ignoring the issue by refilling it with oil.

I now have the same problem. Could someone tell me what the fix was and how much it cost. I already took the car to my mechanic but I'd like a heads up. Oh, and please don't tell me to check the oil filter, it's not a loose/bad filter connection.

Guys can you please install your oil filters properly :P HAHAHA nah but for real take some pictures if you can, or at least tell us what hole its coming out of, was this progressive? or all of a sudden your car decides to shit oil?

[vabrova]

Check your oil press. sensor, and the o-ring that seals it, like HondaFan said above. (if oil squirted on the firewall this this is the culprit).

my car once had an ENORMOUS oil leak, so i brought it to my dad, and he poured a quart of oil in to see where it was coming from, and it was coming from my timing belt cover, or i think. (this was when i first got my car and didnt know much about it, 3 years ago) but he just took a long ass screwdriver and pushed something back in and it was fixed...

[idriveaaccordse]

Sorry i never got back to this post. Right after i fixed the car i got a 02 IS300...haha. Well still have the accord and the problem was the broken o-ring between the block and the oil cooler. All that needed to be done was remove the oil filter, remove the oil cooler (using a 32mm socket), replace the o-ring, then put everything back on. Took about 30 min maybe and less than $12 in parts/oil.
