I have a 91 Accord LX Coupe. My girlfriend drives it to work nights at a hospital 6 blocks away. I went to run an errand today and noticed a 1ft by 1ft puddle of oil under the front. Then I noticed a trail of oil and hopped in my other car to run my errand. On the way home I drove by her work and followed the trail of oil all the way home. I checked the oil, drove it around back and parked it on ramps. Oil was pouring out. Then I wiped everything off and started it again just for 30 sec. again oil pouring out. I read in my chiltons manual about changing the oil pan gasket, then about changing the oil pump. The manual didnt say anything about the seals. When I started it again, I noticed that the oil was coming from right between the oil pan and the serpantine belt. It seemed to be wet with oil around the oil pan and up the side of the timing belt housing. How do I tell if it is just the oil pan gasket or the seals and pump? I paid $1700 for this car 9 months ago and have never noticed a leak. I can do the oil pan gasket I think, but I am not willing to tackle the pump, timing belt and seals. Should I have my mechanic look at it or move on with the oil pan gasket change to see if that fixes it. Not sure if the car is worth the cost of the timing belt, seals, oil and water pump repair. Thanks, Jeeper81

Replying to: cybercool (May 10, 2009 9:47 am) I personally prefer Bridgestone tires, simply based on my good experience with them. I've never had trouble out of Michelins either; I have 47,700 on my 2006 Accord Michelin tires and have a good 15,000 miles or more left on them from the looks of things. The big question is how long will I wait to replace them... I will have had the car for 4 years in November; wet traction isn't quite what it used to be either. |

Hello forum, here's my problem. I left park lights on on my 92 honda accord for about 4 hours. I jump started it and notice that the battery light would come on when I idle it up over 3500 rpms. I let the car run for 20 minutes 2 charge the battery and cut it off and restarted it 3 times. 4 hours later same problem, battery dead. I jump started it again drove it home without a problem. Lights brite played the cd player with no problems for 30 mile drive home. Parked it and restarted it twice without a problem. Next morning battery dead again, no power inside the car at all. Took battery out had it checked with tested good but I put a charge on it have it fully charge when I put it back in the car. When I put the positive cable on I got a spark showing that the battery was giving power but then everything died. I've checked all the fuses in the fuse box under the hood and dash, no blow fuses. With no power to the inside of the car I can't really test any relays....Does anyone have any suggestions????
