Amped Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 ok in my civic (89) i have a 94 swap. it still has the original 89 si tranny. i am leaking a little bit of oil. about every week it is 1/2 quart oil. i think it is coming from the tranny and motor seal. not sure. anyone kno what it might be. thanks Just jack the car up on both sides, look where it's coming from. If it is too hard to see from accumulated oil sludge, then clean everything very well with brake clean, then drive it for a couple hours and look at it again. the new drip will show you where it's coming from.

VR17 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 the oil pan gasket. dont know how much it is yet, im still constantly adding oil to my car until payday. same for me.. til paypay. btw:: you dont need to use brake cleaner, just look at the pan gasket, drainplug , tranny. etc dark oil?:: engine oil somewhat clear like new oil?:: tranny oil + automatic (pink leak) gaskets dont cost much, $20-$30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 oil cant come out from in between the engine and tranny. wipe everything and look a few days later. its prolly coming from the dizzy o-ring , the valve cover , or oil pan gasket. where does the oil gather under the car?

civic1 Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 i was told it might be the oil pan gasket. but dont i have to take the tranny off to get to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 very true VR , my bad on jumping the gun. rear main seal absolutely would cause it to come from there. no need to take tranny off. tranny stiffening brackets come off thats it. easy job really.
