#15 of 25 '07 CRV Oil Leak by jimrago Mar 30, 2007 (11:30 am)
Dealer resealed oil pan, then replaced oil pan. Now they want to pull the transmission to inspect the rear main oil seal. My CRV has been in the shop since 3/18. Still waiting on diagnosis. Similar postings on crvownersclub.com.

On the third visit mine had that done and to this day it doesn't sound right. I'm negotiating for a replacement. a lot of people with these oil leaks are getting replacements authorized by Honda Headquarters.   The guy that told his service center they couldn't drop the transmission while the car was in his name got a replacement. The sequence is similar. First they'll check it out and tell you that sometimes there is oil on the motor from the factory. Second step they replace the oil pan gasket. Then bingo, they have to drop the transmission to replace the rear main seal and possibly some other bolt inside the engine.   My service department is great, but my engine doesn't sound like a tight new engine. It's got a low hum like a motor that has lost compression.   There are several websites that have input from owners that have this problem.   Good luck! Keep us posted as to your progress. We don't have to get nasty but we all need to stand up for our right to a new car that performs like a new car! Replies to this message: dreamchaser321 (Apr 01, 2007 5:13 pm)

We bought the CR-V in June 2008 and now have 9,000 miles on the car. The car developed an oil leak within the last month. We brought the car into the dealer and come to find out it was the rear main seal. The engine and transmission had to be removed to fix the problem. With a honda I never dreamed I would have a problem like this, and I now see that many other people are having the same problem. Is it re-call time?

Replying to: nothappy22 (Nov 06, 2009 7:35 pm) Good luck in getting satisfaction. But did you notice that one full year separates your post from the previous post. This issue doesn't seem to be anything other than a very rare defect.   I drove my new '98 Accord home from the dealer and found oil on floor the next morning. Not happy, to say the least. The seal between engine and transmission was bad. It took 4 days to replace, but the dealer provided a loaner car and gave me several free-service coupons. The car never had another problem in 10 years.

Replying to: joshuag (Nov 07, 2008 10:49 pm) People are moaning about Toyota quality, but I think Honda has slipped worse with too many big problems. We have a CRV and really haven't been impressed by it, It seems cheaply made with little things always going wrong. Haven't had the big AC failure yet, knock on wood, but we've had lots of different rattles, leaking windshield washer, power window issues and premature discoloring in the interior. It also dents easily like a tin can in parking lots. Don't really care for the RAV-4 either as it is obsolete with the dumb tailgate and spare tire set up. Not sure what we'll replace it with.
