people,

replaced bad valve cover gasket, and installed a new camshaft end cap. Looks nice/no leakage up there anymore. But I still have drops collecting under oil pan and dripping on driveway. So I asume gotta be pan gasket. Do you agree and is pan gasket typically at fault on these cars? (2001 civic AT)

thanks

 

clean everything off, then watch for leaks.

 

typically no its usually the cam plug but since thats ruled out including the valve gaskit then process of alimentation i guess would concur.

 

I concur - the cam plug is the main culprit on these vehicles. Oil pan and valve cover are usually fine. Did you replace the ring gaskets at the top of the valve sleeves as well? These are often overlooked.


Check the cam plug first. Take it out again, thoroughly clean everything, get some ATV gasket, apply a thin coat and reinstall. Clean everything to get any residual oil off and check
