have you checked your valve cover gasket?

Also cam seals and breather hose.

Possibly a small amount of oil dripping onto your exhaust and burning away. Maybe from your filter.

Can you notice blue smoke out the exhaust?

[AccordNation423]

it dont smoke anymore i went and got a new filter and put gasket sealer on the rubber seal on filter and so far its working

[AccordNation423]

well i thought i fixed the problem but my wife got on it one day and now the leaking started again but its commin from around the filter i put a new one on and i put gasket sealer all around it and it helped for a good bit but now it leaking again and im bout to jerk the motor out

what year and model? You might have an oil cooler and that has a gasket that seals it against the block, you could reseal it or delete it.

I get a burning oil smell too only after a hard run and let off the gas where the engines winding down..it all started after I was in foreign lands coming out of a gas station, which had like a fucking 3 foot drop off the exit, smashed pretty hard. Figured the shock might have cracked the brittle old oil pressure sending unit. changed it, doesnt do it as bad as it did.. I dunno..i have a 93 se

do you have an EX or SE? Those engines F22A4/A6 have an oil cooler O-ring that goes bad and drips onto the exhaust at a stop. I had to replace that on my F22A6 before I was swapped.

I think my H22 is starting to do it now as well, lots of oil near the knock sensor area.

[AccordNation423]

its f22a6 how do i get to the o ring

[AccordNation423]

no its not leaking that far back its between the filter and the cooler

[illinois_erik]

no its not leaking that far back its between the filter and the cooler

double check there isnt an old filter o-ring stuck up in there, seen it before and will definitely leak.

[AccordNation423]

yea i checked and they wasnt another o ring on there

If the filter and the cooler are not at fault, it is probably the oil pressure switch above the filter on the block. A fairly common leak and easy enough to fix. I do recommend a Denso or Honda switch if that is the leak.
