If it is leaking from the oil filter where the gasket is, maybe you didnt tighten it good.

Not sure if this will help or not, but I had a problem like this before, turned out to be a one time thing?.... discussed here

It is the oil cooler, i had the same problem last month.

Take the oil filter off(exsposing this nut)18 mm i believe.

Take the nut off, and it will reveal this small "o" ring, just replace it and tighten that nut back on.

the "o" ring costs less than $4.

easy fix, but it was a pain in the ass figuring what the leak was from.

how many mailes do you have, i was at 174k.

i was thinking that but i was unsure of how to get to/where exactly it was...
i have 190K on my car

if the leak is coming from above the oil filter...try the oil pressure sending unit, it's only a few bucks and you may as well change out the oil (remove oil filter) it's easier to get to. Torque it to 13 lb-ft and put liquid thread sealant on the tapered pipe thread.

nope...been checked, im not runing my sending unit, i have the oil gauge and turbo feed line ran to that spot....both have no leaks, its coming from the oil filter......

also i still cant find the damn oil cooler????
its an EX and it should have one, maybe im looking at the worng shit...
i found a 18m bolt but when i remove that coolant damn near dround my ass....lol ( i knew it was gona do that but i still had to make sure..lol)
WHERE EXACTLY IS IT????
hanyes says between the filter and engine block....so when i remove the filter should it be sitting in the engine block??? i didnt see anything but the threadings for the oil filter

The oil cooler isnt on most f22ax's, my 91 EX f22a4 didnt have one...i believe its a JDM EDM thing? My JDM F20A had a cooler on it...maybe theres some gasket left on the the block from the previous filter that was on there causing a bad seal?

the oil senser's have problems where they leak out of the senser , its normal.. just get a new one ... i bought a diffrent one and had to wire up the connections because the plug didnt fit...



also if you put any new filter on , make shure the rubber ring didnt stay on the block still..

i also had this problem after oil drain i took off the old filter and the rubber ring on the filter came off some how... and when i put a new filter on with the rubber thing still there it created a small gap and leaked out oil on my drive way... couldnt figure it out .. then i re did the oil and saw that

keep an eye out..

BTW: its always a good idea to replace the washer on your drain bolt ..

where do u get those small parts? like small gaskets, o rings w/o going to dealer?

will a place like checkers or whatever carry something like that??

[gdout90accord]

did you put that little air breather on dat manifold?
cuz i was leaking oil from there

[theone]

everything u all recommend ive checked.
no gasket left over or anything but it still leaks a lil.
for the breather on the valve cover im not leaking oil from there at all.
it just started do this when the last filter was on......when i installed that one during that oil change it was fine, its started doing it like 3 weeks ago.
for the first 1000-2000 miles it didnt leak at all.
i figure when i change the oil it would stop but nope, still doing it, and everythings was done the same as any regular oil change.

thanks for the help to folks
