First off... hello everyone... long time no post.... Over the past few months my car (90 Accord LX 5sp) has been leaking more and more oil. I have replaced the oil pan gasket already and am now wondering if the leaking oil is coming from a plug that is just below the oil filter. I am not certain, if this is the source, but is this a common thing to leak? I was just going to pull it out and use some teflon tape on the threads. Other than this plug, I am not sure where it is all leaking from. I even went and made sure all the bolts weren't loose that hold the oil pan on.... Suggestions?

What i use to do is get under there and clean the bejesus out of the undercarriage.
There is a spray that breaks down all that grime and clean it so its brand new.
Give it a day or two and then see if you can locate the leak.
Leaving cardboard under the car could also help possibly. -

rear main would leak fromt he clutch cover, not below the oil filter. I personally wouldnt teflon tape it but use form-a-gasket or silicone the threads. if you have an oil cooler that always has issues.Comment

Yes the oil pressure switch is a common place to leak from.Originally posted by thewoahna View Post
As above, clean the oil off and check it a couple of days later.
