Oil Leak!

[cvc7chris]

okay my car has been kinda slowly leaking oil from like the front dizzy screw.

a friend said it was the dizzy o ring. so i change that with 2 diffirent sizes and leaked both times..

but it was LESS oil being leaked..so that kinda helped but
im begining to think that's it's from the valve cover gasket since
i changed 2 diffirent covers and haven't replaced it yet.

i am getting a new one and i want to ask about RTV sealant.
since i never used it

so i apply at the valve cover, and then put the gasket on.

and then AGAIN like that the part where the gasket sits? or just at the
valve cover and gasket.

heres some pics tell me what you think

Looks like your valve cover is leaking.

[cvc7chris]

or COULD it be from the Actually dizzy screw? cuz i've changed the screws around to see if that helped..and still doesn't

Looks like your valve cover is leaking.

x2

after driving i can almost see the river of oil

o well it's only 11 bux at autozone plus rtv sealant which alot of people
recommend

screw RTV sealant, HONDABOND FTW. IMO, you can apply between valve cover, gasket, and head.

youve never used the RTV sealant when youve changed those VC's?

just put that Red RTV silicone at the corners, right where it goes over that hump, in those 4 places on the VC, that works fine. Let it cure for about 10 min. before you actually put it on the cyl. head, then tighten to the rec. torque specs.

And as for the Dizzy O-ring. Just get the right size man, c'mon. Its like 3.50 at Honda
