What's up HCF....I changed my brakes this morning when I noticed a few trickles of oil...I couldn't find the leak...I checked the pan and the drain plug with no luck...and it only leaks a few drops....I heard about the oil pressure sending unit but I can't find it better yet check or replace it...can any of you guys steer me in the right direction?

 

The oil pressure switch is on the back of the engine, directly above the oil filter. Other common leaks are the VTEC solenoid (if VTEC) and the distributor.

 

i'd try to locate where it's doing it first. place white paper on your garage floor before going to bed. wake up the next morning and see where the oil patches are. could be a leaking valve cover gasket..i know mine was.

 

Thanks a lot for the info...I'm doing my oil this weekend so ill pick up a new switch too..

 

also is there any weird smells? I know when my valve cover gasket was leaking it dripped down onto the exhuast and made a smell like burning paper. You should be able to tell if the valve cover gasket is leaking by looking at the engine and observing caked oil around the valve cover. How fast is the leak?

 

Nope...no weird smells...it's only a few drops each time...no patches of oil so I'm not thinking a valve or oil pan leak...I heard that the oil switch is a comMon leaking issue
