#2 of 25 07 CRV Rear Main Seal Leak by norm27 Jan 06, 2007 (7:05 pm)
Purchased 12/23/06. On 12/30/07 noticed oil on floor & took it to nearest Honda dealer, not the one I bought it from as I did not want to drive too far not knowing the cause of the leak. Tentively diagnosed as rear main engine seal leak. Dealer rep told me NOT to drive it home to wait for the parts to come in as I might experience other problems. Parts to be ordered 1/2/07.   The rear main engine seal was replaced on 1/4/07 and on 1/6 I found oil on the garage floor. This repair was done by the closest Honda dealer not the one I bought the car from. Which dealer do I go back to for further repair in order to possibly qualify for replacement or money back under the Lemon Law?

Replying to: norm27 (Jan 06, 2007 7:05 pm) Based on past experience, once you start warranty work for a specific problem I believe other dealers will tell you to return to where the work was first done.   At some point you might be justified in giving up on them. But not yet, imo. I had a similar problem with a 4-day old 1998 Accord. After a week to get parts, the problem was fixed permanently. I replaced that Accord with a new CR-V. Good luck.

Replying to: norm27 (Jan 06, 2007 7:05 pm) I would suggest contacting the dealer you puchased from and advise them of what has happened.I'm sure they would want to take it in to look at it,to avoid any bad reputation with their clients.

Replying to: norm27 (Jan 06, 2007 7:05 pm) I got my 2007 CRV on 12/21/06, by first week of Jan 1st I notice the first leak. I had under 300 miles on it, I was on the first tank of gas. Took it in to selling dealer. They said it was dry as they got closer to the suspect rear main seal. They cleaned up the motor and sent me home with instructions to call back if problem continued. Also I have had it in for a TPMS ( tire pressure monitoring system) light that stayed on. They adjusted the tire pressure and turned off the warning light. It's back on. I have newspaper under the car to soak up the ever growing oil leak and I have an appointment on 1/23/07 to get it looked at. Wish me luck or a knowledgeable service department!

Replying to: crvowner3 (Jan 20, 2007 3:13 pm) They fixed my leak and said this was the cause, the rear main seal seal is pressed into the rear of the engine,the inner circle of the seal is where the crankshaft goes through the seal (this is the sealing portion of the seal).it appeared when the engine was assemblied gasket adhesive used on the oilpan had got onto the crankshaft where it contacts the seal,thus the leak hope this explains it ok,if not e-mail me back or call me Replies to this message: brianjandreau (Jan 21, 2007 5:07 pm)

Replying to: norm27 (Jan 20, 2007 4:18 pm) I'm picking up my CRV this week. Is there anything I can / should do before driving it off the lot to make sure the CRV I get doesn't have this problem (or any other one)?

Replying to: norm27 (Jan 06, 2007 7:05 pm) I got my 07 CRV in again ( second time), the oil pan gasket was replaced. It is still leaking when driven. I have an open appt. for another try to fix it. I have great confidence in my repair department. They are working with me on the problem, but a new car should not have an oil leak!
#9 of 25 CRV Oil Leak by crvowner3 Feb 14, 2007 (6:02 pm)
I got my car in for the third time. They went all the way in and replaced the rear main seal. It stopped the leak so far. Now I need to check out the differential problem that is popping up big time in some CRVs. Lots of input on that problem right here in this forum.
#10 of 25 CR-V EX-L With Navi : Oil Leak by sanjub Mar 01, 2007 (5:22 pm)
I bought 2007 Honda CRV on 24th Dec, 2006, found oil leak within 1000 miles. Took it to the nearest dealer, with two attempts of oil pan gasket replacement - issue still remains the same. Finally, two days back, took it to the dealer where I bought the car, they are suspecting problem with main seal leakage. I'm waiting to hear from them now.
