Thanks for your suggestion. |

Oh come on: Now I'm hooked on this little mystery! Post your location and maybe one of the group will come over and take a look. :-) As I too suspect the oil filter is on the rear, how about a failed seal at the base of the oil dipstick tube? IIRC there is a little seal way down there that does fail. Or the tube itself may have ruptured. |

Oil spit out all over the driveway under the Honda >>just to the right of the oxygen sensor that sits at the front of the engine >>just behind the radiator. >>that's some weird ****. id say the dealers full of it Believe him, people. The motor's history. When a connecting rod puts a hole on the block, serious noise and oil will come out near the O2 sensor and onto the driveway eventually shutting down. The dealer has confirm it's not fixable. Before, I use to replace the crankshaft, rod bearings, even seal the block and the whole nine yards. Today, it's not economical. If an angry neighbor or vandalist swipes or loosens the OIL FILTER , including yanking the oil PRESSURE switch, then OP's SECURITY is questionable. |
